Bug ID: 51095
Summary: Create a blacklist for sitelinks
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
It would be quite useful if we had a blacklist (regex-supporting) for
preventing inclusion of sitelinks matching a line in the blacklist, for
example, an entry like:
(en|simple)wiki:User( talk)?:*/[Ss]andbox
would block addition of sitelinks on the English or Simple English Wikipedias
in userspace that are a sandbox subpage. A special right would be needed for
bypassing these sitelinks, though bots should probably not have this right (at
least not on Wikidata, if implemented, could be allowed by default),
considering that bots often create such items that should be deleted per
policies. It would be far too difficult for each bot operator to create a list
of such pages, plus new users might not be aware of those policies etc.
