Echo list concerns
Hello Ebern! This is ShoeMaker from Bugzilla. I have a concern about "no prefix" for the blacklist/whitelist. What happens when A, User:A, and Project:A all exist? Technical 13 (talk) 18:17, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi User:Technical 13! Currently the blacklist/whitelist functionality only effects which users trigger notification creation, it doesn't have any relation to which page the notification was created for. I initially implemented the blacklist/whitelist this way because the primary use case, as explained to me, was to prevent bots from spamming people with notifications that are 99% irrelevant.  As such there is no internal conflict between names, they can only be usernames which are guaranteed to be unique.  It is possible that this feature will be extended to more uses but I'm not sure what those are yet, i believe fabrice is collecting more information so this feature can be expanded to be even more useful going forward.
 * Okay, the reason for my concern having to do with the namespaces was due to the section that mentions that certain "Project:" pages dealing with awards, surprises, and SPI type investigations would also be on the the list. I realize the window for overlap in these cases is slim, being a perfectionist, I would rather it be none instead of slim and figure the best time to raise these concerns is now during development instead of someone having to go back and fix something.
