Description Jasper Deng 2013-05-31 00:43:44 UTC 
Currently, abuse filter 9 on Wikidata prevents all edits to the Query: namespace, which is reserved. I would think that it would be more efficient to restrict the namespace with a $wgNamespaceProtection entry (with a permission that no-one has).

Also adding Query_talk

I really don't see what the point of doing this is.
While yes, it's technically a better solution, this is just a temporary measure which should get resolved soon. If we use a configuration variable it means we need to get someone with access to deploy it, and then revert it when the time is right, rather than just having a local sysop delete the filter rule.

For background, the log of the IRC discussion where the abusefilter rule was written is at http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/logs/%23wikimedia-wikidata/20130218.txt
