Forum:How do I install a blacklist?

Currently the wikia I work on has an open 'title blacklist' article, it basically is linking to other pages and ends up Searchable if someone were to look for it, and also showing up in the "wanted pages" section. I don't want blacklisted terms / words to be viewable to the public. -- Bunai82 (talk page) 08:42, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you want to blacklist an article for creation, simply protect it (like you would for a created page) -- Random Time  10:20, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you mean, cause I never did that. I want something that will automatically not happen if a vandal started posting. -- Bunai82 (talk page) 19:22, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can use regular expressions to make it a little bit less obvious or break it up so the words don't show up in a search. However, the entries on that page should not be links, you can unlink them and they will work. -- 21:14, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll have to show you guys what I mean. Because so far I am confused. page in question. Currently I am looking at MediaWiki title blacklist but can't figure out how to get it onto my wiki. Is it downloadable or already on the wiki by default. -- Bunai82 (talk page) 02:51, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * Uberfuzzy: How it's supposed to work? It's a list of regular expressions? Because it didn't work.  --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 11:43, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think blacklists are not working on any wiki. 11:48, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * It works fine on WoWWiki. -- 11:56, August 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * um thanks, can I just copy a blacklist from another wikia for my own? -- Bunai82 (talk page) 13:09, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, the hook has to be added in wikifactory first, so you need to ask Wikia to add it. About it being visible to the public, the title blacklist extension itself calls from a mediawiki page, not from an admin-view only page. The local version here at wikia of the title blacklist isn't phalanx (the global version) so you cannot make it hidden from the public (without going to extremes to try). For what vegadark said, both the local spam and title blacklists were broken cross-wiki for a while after the phalanx switchover, but now they are working, so ignore that.

 * You could hide it from most people by using page-specific css. I don't see why it would be worth the effort; and it wouldn't be hidden from search. -- ◄mendel► 19:37, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
