Extension:Blackout

The Blackout extension allows to use during blackouts in protest to SOPA/PIPA and Internet censorship. It was designed for the SOPA/PIPA blackouts planned for Wednesday, 18th January 2012.

Development
This will be maintained for use with Internet Censorship related actions, coordinated by Fight for the Future and other advocacy nonprofits.

Either based on feedback or temporary cease on Internet Censorship actions, the extension will be morphed into one for use with any blackout based on the individual wiki's needs.
