Extension talk:Blacklist

Is there a simple way to blacklist a whole namespace
Is there a simple way to blacklist a whole namespace? -Brynte 22:11, 4 December 2007 (UTC) $wgBlacklistOps["useRegex"] = true; $wgWhitelist['sysop']['read'] = $wgBlacklist['*']['read'] = array("^Special:.*$");
 * You can just do it in a regex --pynej

What options are possible?
In the article, only "write" and "edit" are mentioned. What else can one change? Move? --195.145.142.18 09:46, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Can normal users SEE these pages?
The explanation of what this extension does it really poor. Please explain. Odessaukrain 00:55, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It depends on the second option of the array. If the edit permission is revoked then pages can't be edited.  If the read permission is revoked then the page can't even be viewed.  There are other permissions as well just as create. --pynej

Error message
Odd. When I load a page immediately after having installed Blacklist, I'm getting this error messages repeated many many times:

Warning: array_key_exists [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /mydir/wiki/extensions/blacklist/blacklist.php on line 78

Warning: array_key_exists [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /mydir/wiki/extensions/blacklist/blacklist.php on line 62

Any idea what I might have done wrong? I'm using MW 1.13.0. -- manu3d 03:17, 23 August 2008 (UTC) I am also getting this problem using the latest version of MW

includes/Title.php Line 1383 if ($wgGroupPermissions['*']['read']) return true;
 * You may need to comment out a tweak they added in newer versions of MW to get this to work again. They added a statment to skip permission checking logic witch will fail when using this extension.  Just comment out the following lines in includes/Title.php. --PyneJ

Modified Blacklist Extension
Here an prefix based version of this extension, working with MediaWiki 1.12.0: http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=29876#post29876

Special Characters
Is there any way to restrict sites from viewing if special characters are used in the title? i.e "Spezial:Beiträge" in German. Thanks --FlyerWiki 11:15, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It should work for any language/character sets but doesn't do localization on its own. adding the localizations along with the English page titles and it should work fine. --pynej

Doesn't work for me in MW14
Somebody knows if there are issues with this extension in 1.14?--Gregra 23:13, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
