The associated page is used by the TitleBlacklist MediaWiki extension, and lists strings of regular expressions that may not be used as page titles or usernames on any Wikimedia projects. Any Meta-Wiki administrator or steward can edit this blacklist.

For more information on what the title blacklist is for, and the processes used here, please see Title blacklist/About.

Please post comments to the appropriate section below: Proposed additions, Proposed removals, or Troubleshooting and problems, read the messageboxes at the top of each section for an explanation. Also, please check back some time after submitting, there could be questions regarding your request. In addition to that, please sign your posts with ~~~~ after your comment.

Completed requests are archived, additions and removal are logged.

Proposed additions

Latest comment: 2 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

"Nate Higgers"

.*nate.*higger.*		<newaccountonly|antispoof>

I omitted the "s" on purpose, as at least one account seemed to omit it. There seem to be 50 accounts matching this regex, with one created every couple of months (the most recent one being Special:CentralAuth/NateHiggers69420666, which prompted me to come here). It's not very common, but false positives are sufficiently unlikely that I would suggest blacklisting it anyways. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:08, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not sure antispoof is really necessary here, but a but of gUser search suggests this might be useful. ~~~~

Proposed removals

This section is for proposing that a title be unlisted; please add new entries at the bottom of the section. Remember to provide the specific title or regex blacklisted, links to the articles they are used in or useful to, and arguments in favour of unlisting. Completed requests will be marked as done or denied and archived. The addition or removal of a title is not a vote, please do not bold the first words in statements.

Troubleshooting and problems

This section is for comments related to problems with the blacklist (such as incorrect syntax or entries not being blocked), or problems saving a page because of a blacklisted title. This is not the section to request that an entry be unlisted (see Proposed removals above).
