Summary: Request to have MediaWiki:Titleblacklist made into
restricted special page
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Hi. I'd like to file this, to ask whether it is possible to have the
MediaWiki:Titleblacklist made into a special page, accessible to administrators
only. The reason for this is that recently at en.wikinews, we have had a user
create 20+ accounts, all for vandalism, and as we've successively blocked each
one in the Titleblacklist, they've changed the format and started making new
ones.
The only possibility is that they are viewing the title blacklist, and seeing
what we've blocked, only to figure out a way round the block.
By making the interface a restricted special page, only administrators could
view and edit the content, thus rendering users from not being able to see what
we've done.
I know we have the abuse filter, but at present, as far as I can tell, nobody
on our users actually knows how to configure it to add anything :)
Thanks if you can do this guys.
