MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist/Archive 4

Request to add to title blacklist
After the result of this RfD discussion, I have this request to make: could the creation of any title that contains any instance of at least two consecutive apostrophes ( '' ) be added to the title blacklist? The fact that any title with those specifications has the potential to cause wiki markup issues when linked in an article seems to outweigh the usefulness of their existence.

 * It's doable, and it sounds like a good idea to me. If nobody replies here objecting in a few days, I'll do it. Jackmcbarn (talk) 23:27, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

By the way, here's a list of all remaining titles with this problem:
 * I object to it having not been done five years ago... I'd say why wait in this instance... — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 23:38, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ Feel free to suggest wording improvements to MediaWiki:titleblacklist-forbidden-apostrophes. Jackmcbarn (talk) 04:48, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
 * , the only objection I have to MediaWiki:titleblacklist-forbidden-apostrophes is that it is not HTML5 compliant since it is using  tags. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 04:52, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
 * What's the recommended replacement for those? Jackmcbarn (talk) 04:53, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
 * In that use case,  would be appropriate. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 04:58, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Jackmcbarn (talk) 05:00, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Jackmcbarn (talk) 05:00, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, I noticed that there are a lot of chemicals that really do have multiple consecutive apostrophes in their name, so I tweaked the regex to allow them through while still blocking the rest. Jackmcbarn (talk) 05:46, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Addition to the above request
I just realized part of my request above that I completely overlooked; should the creation of new usernames with at least two consecutive apostrophes be blacklisted as well? I mean, I can only imagine how annoying it would be for a new user to create their name with at least two consecutive apostrophes ... just to not be able to create their own user page, as well as having their talk page essentially blocked since it could not be created by most editors, including themselves. Steel1943 (talk) 01:20, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Also pinging Technical 13 on this for feedback purposes. Steel1943  (talk) 01:22, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Either that or specify this only applies to article space. Then double &apos; titles would be valid in User(_talk): — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 04:00, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * This currently affects pages in all namespaces as well as account creation. Jackmcbarn (talk) 16:05, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it should. The only cases where apos cause an issue is when there are 2, 3, or 5 of them.  Even then, it's not too big of an issue because the server encodes them when used as links and the display title can be overridden to show the actual apos in cases where they are appropriate.  Piped links can be used in linking to the articles.  Not really sure where the issue for this is, other than making adjustments on pages where it belongs requires some technical know-how and can be an annoyance. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 16:44, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * With the exception of the enzymes (which I already added an exception for), I can see no legitimate reason for ever having multiple single quotes in a page title. Can you think of any? Jackmcbarn (talk) 18:16, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * , it is reasonable for anything that uses feet and inches or degree, minutes, and seconds to be searched for with &apos;&apos; (double ') and should have redirects from such pages. It's also reasonable for it to be part of a username if the user expected to have that kind of formatting in their name (and there is no policy against having usernames with embedded formatting). — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 18:35, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * If a username (or a page for that matter) is created with that type of formatting, counterintuitively, it will actually break the ability to format the page that way. Jackmcbarn (talk) 18:36, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * , how so? I'm a bold user. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 18:51, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Because when you actually visit their user page, the name will show up with the apostrophes and not in bold, and worse, DISPLAYTITLE won't be able to fix it. Jackmcbarn (talk) 18:54, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * If they really wanted their user page to look that way, with a little tinkering.  Also, they might not care what the display title looks like.  It's not a technical restriction since there are ways to workaround it, it should be up to them. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 21:08, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * That's a horrific hack (not to mention it doesn't work if the page needs to scroll). Also, it would make it hard for other users to copy and paste their username into places. Jackmcbarn (talk) 21:12, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't disagree it was a horrific hack, but it would work for users that keep their userpage short enough to prevent scrolling (I could have tinkered with it further to make it work a little better if I was so inclined. I was not.  Not that much hard to copy and past the username, simply copy from URL.  Anyways.  While I agree it is very useful and productive in article space, I think setting restrictions on what users can and cannot have for usernames that aren't documented as having consensus in WP:UPOL is a bad idea.  I'll leave it at that. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 21:46, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * My thoughts: links to any page that have consecutive apostrophes are a bad idea due to the original reason why I requested that the titles be blacklisted. User names are no exception to this thought, given that if I want to ping or mention an editor with consecutive apostrophes in their username, I am now adding to the problem, and not by choice. (Well, I could choose not to ping them, but then I would have no way to use the echo system to communicate with them, so it's a lose-lose situation.) Steel1943  (talk) 22:15, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, I thought that this was how this page worked, but I wasn't sure. Perfect! Steel1943  (talk) 18:04, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

TM, R, and SM symbols in usernames
Does anyone have any objections to me adding the following entry? .*[™®℠].*  Jackmcbarn (talk) 20:06, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do. MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-forbidden-new-account isn't an appropriate message for these usernames.  There should be a better explanation as to why it is being rejected (it's using a symbol that indicates it is a product) and should include a link to WP:PRODNAME. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 21:51, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Good point. I'll create a new message for it. Are you okay with the rule itself, though? Jackmcbarn (talk) 22:08, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Of course. I don't object to the idea, I just think that all of the creation rules should be as clear as can be so that people know exactly why the requested name doesn't work... As an, I've had instances when I've ended up wasting way too much time trying to figure out what rule was hit so I can appropriately respond to the requester. Thanks. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 22:13, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I've now implemented this, with MediaWIki:Titleblacklist-forbidden-new-account-trademark as the reason. Jackmcbarn (talk) 18:51, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * , looks fine to me. :) — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 20:06, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Wilayats of ISIL
Would it possible to add all the titles listed at WP:RFPP rather than trying to protect each one. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:29, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * There is a discussion on User:Technical 13 where there seems to be a consensus to add:

to the titleblacklist and MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-custom-wilayat-isil will need to be created with an appropriate text still needing to be determined. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 20:01, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Once someone determines the appropriate text, I'll set it up. Jackmcbarn (talk) 20:04, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * repinging —   02:41, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Is the question Jackmcbarn's post above? Perhaps User:Mhhossein, User:Spirit_of_Eagle, User:Gregkaye or User:Legacypac would be better able to answer than me. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:25, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, what text is requested for MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-custom-wilayat-isil? I'd be happy to put it there and ping Jack to add the TBL. —   14:12, 26 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I was just passing the message on from the request for protection page. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 16:44, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It might be better to simply create the pages as redirects and protect them. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:12, 23 February 2015 (UTC).

About talk page creation
I was reviewing a discussion at MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist/Archive 3, and I was just wondering: is it technically possible to have the blacklist restrictions excluded from either talk pages with an existing corresponding pages or talk pages period? (I'm not proposing anything right now; I'm just wondering if it is even possible to do.) Steel1943  (talk) 22:50, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Paul Easter-title black list needed!
Yeah its getting crazy! (Now watch some actual celebrity with this name need a page!) but yes-it needs to be on here! Wgolf (talk) 22:42, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you have some links to where these have been created or any additional information? I'm not sure of how widespread this is.  Nakon 22:52, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I've found some examples and have now added the entry " .*Paul Easter.* " to the blacklist. Nakon 23:23, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Would recommend using something like the existing  (created for a similar socking case) with no newaccount restriction, to catch all plausible formations of an article about him - the sillier stuff at his sockpuppet archive ("Luap Restsae") would be obvious enough not to last long or be taken seriously by readers. --McGeddon (talk) 23:42, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I added  but not the actor/director matches because the article has been re-created under titles such as "Suffolk director" and "P A U L..." etc. You get the idea. This will cut down some, but the title blacklist is not a silver bullet unfortunately. These people have ceased to try to create an article about this guy, they're just trolling. § FreeRangeFrog  croak 01:16, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Strike that, I didn't notice Nakon already added an entry. In any case, the point about the titles remains. § FreeRangeFrog croak 01:35, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * If this party keeps up the article creation, I can move it into the edit filter to obscure the regex. Apologies for not making my addition obvious :)  Nakon 01:37, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Nah, that was me not paying attention :) I'm not sure how we'd encode this in an edit filter, but if you want to give it a go, definitely. Even if it cuts down on the number of re-created titles. Keep in mind though, this guy is just angry at Wikipedia. At this point he's not trying to create an article about himself, he's just being disruptive. So the title is the least of his worries. § FreeRangeFrog croak 01:41, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll be monitoring it, but I'd ask that anyone involved please hit me up on my talk page if this continues so I can get it included in an edit filter. Nakon 03:07, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Role accounts
I'd like to see the following added as I have seen a fair few accounts like this, and it saves the user trouble if they are notified up-front:

.*(group|media) 

With a message

It would be possible to add other likely signs, for example

.*\s(inc|gmbh|ltd|plc)\.?

of course, should someone so desire.

All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 02:22, 22 February 2015 (UTC).


 * I'd oppose such a change on the grounds that it would likely produce an unacceptable number of false positives. Jackmcbarn (talk) 20:20, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm well there are 6,081 accounts ending with "group", 2,616 have ever edited, and of those 1,414 are not blocked. The second hundred are listed at User:Rich_Farmbrough/temp53 of these "User:Bloodgroup" seems acceptable (but actually isn't), and "Basedgroup" understandable (they used the words from the captcha as their account name) but not permitted.  A total of 16,910 edits were made by these accounts (so far). The only other acceptable names I can think of are  variants of "Agegroup"adn  mathematical stuff like "cyclic group" or "infinite group".
 * I would say that "media" is similar. "massmedia", "magneticmedia"  or "mixedmedia" might be acceptable,  but the vast majority are not and will result in the editor being told to change their account name.  The media accounts have committed 34,761 edits.
 * All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 02:13, 2 March 2015 (UTC).


 * Poke. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 02:27, 13 March 2015 (UTC).

Blacklist username
Can someone blacklist usernames beginning with "CiCiDubs" (see: Sockpuppet investigations/CiCiDubsE1). I'm not sure how to do that.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  23:44, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Have there been any additional reports since this one was created? Nakon 22:50, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what "reports" are you talking about?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:55, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have clarified. Has this username vandal returned since the initial sockpuppet investigation. <b style="color:#C50">Nakon</b> 22:56, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * No, but it was yesterday. I just wanted to make sure (s)hre won't return.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  23:01, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm hesitant to add it to the blacklist unless there's additional occurrences.

Setting a maximum length for new usernames
Back in 2014, the 40-character username limit was removed here per Matma Rex's request. This was under the understanding that the software would enforce a limit of 64 characters regardless. However, due to SUL auto-renaming, the 64 character limit had to be increased to 85. Thus it is now possible for people to register new usernames like: User:A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet morning Such long usernames are completely unnecessary, although vandals like User:99 Willys on Wheels on the wall, 99 Willys on Wheels... seem to enjoy them. This is not strictly an aesthetic issue, but also a practical one, as excessively long usernames make it more difficult for reusers to properly credit the authors of articles. Perhaps 40 characters was too restrictive, but I think 85 characters is excessive. I would like to propose re-adding the maximum length limit, but setting it to 50 characters instead of 40. Here is an example of a hypothetical 50 character username: User:My username is 50 characters and I am fine with it What say thee? Kaldari (talk) 00:56, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

IIRC, this is a target of SPAs, so whether it's paid or not, I don't know, but we've had SPIs and COINs related to the subject before. As far as content goes, IIRC, the first draft was moved into mainspace after being declined and was deleted, it was recreated as Alex Asiedu and deleted, it was recreated as Alexander Asiedu, deleted as recreation of deleted content, requested to be userfied/put back into draft by an editor who then approved it to make a POINT (or BATTLEGROUND), and was AfDed again.

Letter prime?
When trying to move Sää´mođđâz to Sääʹmođđâz, the following error is shown: "Sää´mođđâz" cannot be moved to "Sääʹmođđâz", because the title "Sääʹmođđâz" is on the title blacklist. If you feel that this move is valid, please consider requesting the move first.

Why is this title blacklisted?

See the use of the modifier letter prime ʹ instead of symbol acute accent ´ in the introduction line of the article. The substitution of the prime by acute accent comes from a problem with keyboard input since the acute accent is commonly on keyboard layouts while letter prime isn’t, but typographically the letter prime is correct in Skolt Sami. --Moyogo/ (talk) 09:05, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Filthy Frank
I was wondering if we could blacklist any title that has the name "Filthy Frank" in it or maybe any article that uses that specific phrase? The reason for this is that there has been a fairly continuous campaign to get Filthy Frank a Wikipedia article outside of Harlem Shake (meme). He originated the meme, but it went far beyond him and he's gone through multiple AfDs that all ended with the consensus to delete the article. See Articles for deletion/Filthy Frank and Articles for deletion/George Miller (entertainer). We probably can't blacklist George Miller since the name is relatively common, but we can at least prevent someone from trying to get around the article saltings to create a new article.

I'd especially appreciate if we could keep someone from putting the name in another article because there has been a lot of vandalism at Chef (film), from people trying to add two of his videos to the article despite clear indication that they are not notable enough to be added. I've semi-protected the page, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone is working at getting autoconfirmed so they can re-add them, given that attempts to add him to Wikipedia in general have apparently been going on since 2014. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:31, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It may also be worth protecting George Miller (Joji) after it gets deleted - that, or add something like  to here --  samtar talk or stalk 08:47, 4 October 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm honestly tempted to start blocking people whose only edits are to try to recreate this article. This is pretty ridiculous. I don't think that this is sockpuppetry, rather just a group of nimrod YT viewers who are now deliberately trying to annoy us. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:54, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I blocked the guy who made that article. Given that he tried going around the salted titles and that the fandom seems to be fairly aware of the whole Wikipedia stuff, it's unlikely that he didn't know that doing that would be a bad idea and I'd wager that anyone else that doesn't reserve their FF edits to AfC would likely be equally aware. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:08, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm going to ping just so he's aware of the request. I saw that he had to deal with one of the people at George Miller, which I've protected for three days. I found an attempt to add him into the article Killing of Harambe, which I've removed. I left a note on the talk page about this so that they can keep an eye out. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:20, 4 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Agree with all the above - if there is significant disruption an edit filter may work, but the addition of  is likely to prevent the majority of creations. Filthy Frank has a number of names --  samtar talk or stalk 09:30, 4 October 2016 (UTC)


 * There was also an addition at List_of_fictional_currencies. He's mentioned at H3h3Productions, but that's actually somewhat relevant to him so I didn't remove that one. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:34, 4 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the ping, but I don't think I really have anything to add here. I came across the first(?) AfD (this), then when it was redirected I saw someone restore his name to List of YouTubers via a different title, George Miller (entertainer). CSD declined so sent it back to AfD. Not familiar with other creations, though I did remove incoming links. I'm a little concerned about blacklisting (and don't know the range of technical options for blacklisting anything beyond specific article titles and external links), since it makes sense to mention him at the Harlem Shake article, and he's mentioned in the biographies of some other youtubers that are notable. &mdash; Rhododendrites <sup style="font-size:80%;">talk \\ 13:32, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

1

Please sync to the revision dated 14:18, 15 October 2016 of MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist/sandbox (effective diff). updated

Examples of filenames that match are "File:Foo .jpg", "File:Foo,.png", "File:Foo.jpeg.svg", "File:Foo,pdf.gif", "File:Foo,tif .tiff", "File:Foo,jpg,.jpg". Extensions come from Special:Upload. I estimate about 12–15 uploads per month with this issue. Some instances: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 The entries would not have any effect on existing titles (folks could edit re-upload to these without a problem). I've tested and verified that the regexes work as expected at the testwiki.

The entries reference MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-custom-file-extension for a custom error message. Requesting that it be created with the following, or something similar:

It's not possible to upload a file with the name specified, likely because the filename incorrectly contains a double-extension, or what resembles two filename extensions, or there is unnecessary punctuation at the end of the filename. Please go back and remove the double extension.

Examples of corrections:


 * Yes_check.svg "File:Foobar.jpg.jpg" → "File:Foobar.jpg"
 * Yes_check.svg "File:Foobar.jpeg.svg" → "File:Foobar.svg"
 * Yes_check.svg "File:Foobar.jpeg.svg" → "File:Foobar.svg"
