I am not me wrote: It used to. It also used to prevent existing pages that matched from being edited. They probably changed it because if an admin made a mistake (such as adding an inappropriate period) that caused the blacklist itself to be uneditable, it was hard to undo.

That makes sense. It will be a bit more difficult to test files then since IPs are not permitted to upload files to begin with. I'll see if i can get a user on the hexxit wiki to become my tester for certain operations that i cannot do with being logged out.

Yes, Admins are not affected by the blacklist. Can make it difficult to check to see if it works when you make an edit. Indeed. I wasn't aware of this being the case here since I was going off of the mediawiki extension info and it implies all users are forbidden as well, which is part of the reason why this thread came about due to being able to upload files that shouldve went against the blacklist sub-pattern on the page at the time.

As for the issue for the files. I am unsure if it is entirely working at this time, however I logged out of my account and attempted to create one of the biomes o plenty pages and it said it wasnt allowed, so the extension itself works for sure as was already mentioned. Just won't be able to easily test file blacklists, unless someone has a suggestion on how to do it without asking a non-admin?

Also, thanks to everyone thus far for assisting me in this issue.
