Description MZMcBride 2013-07-03 01:15:46 UTC 
Similar to bug 47946 ([[MediaWiki:Echo-blacklist]] for blacklisted user names) and bug 50628 (request to disable Echo pings on a per-page basis), it should be possible to disable echo pings using regex against the page title. This would be very similar to (or perhaps even tie in with...) [[mw:Extension:TitleBlacklist]].

You don't have to create a new bug for every variation on an idea. Why not add this suggestion to bug 50628?

Because much like page protection, I think we'll ultimately end up with multiple avenues for disabling pings for particular page titles.

One method will be on a per-page basis (comparable to index.php?title=Foo&action=protect).

Another separate method will be based on regular expressions that match a particular title (comparable to [[MediaWiki:Titleblacklist]]).

While obviously related, the ideas are quite clearly distinct. Distinct ideas --> separate bug reports.
