Forum:Blacklist

Hello there! I've seen other Wikis have a MediaWiki:Blacklist, but I'm entirely not sure of its actual use. Can you please explain it to me. Also, I'd like to use one. And try not to lead me to Help Wikia. Usually, they just confuse me even more. :P They really need to explain some Help contents in very good details (isn't that the point of "Help"?). Hehe. :)

 * Hello,


 * The blacklist extension restricts access to specified pages by adding a robust blacklist option to MediaWiki. In other words its a restricted access for page views for certain users. You can request it using Special:Contact.-- Andrew Schlieffen (talk &middot; contr) 03:26, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not seeing any wikis anywhere with a "MediaWiki:Blacklist" page. Can you be more specific? Also keep in mind, that not every things you see on Wikipedia is the same on Wikia, even if it uses the same pagename. --Uberfuzzy 09:42, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia doesn't have the 'blacklist' extension either. We're you refering to "MediaWiki:Blacklistedusername"?

 * Theres 2 likely answers: there is a wiki level blacklist for URLs, and one for pagenames. The one for URLs only blocks at the domain level (i think, i might be wrong), and the pagename one is a much much simplified version of MW's title blacklist. it ONLY blocks pagenames, not username creations or any of that other fancy stuff. --Uberfuzzy 09:52, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
