Description Hazard-SJ 2013-07-10 05:44:33 UTC
It would be quite useful if we had a blacklist (regex-supporting) for preventing inclusion of sitelinks matching a line in the blacklist, for example, an entry like:
    (en|simple)wiki:User( talk)?:*/[Ss]andbox
would block addition of sitelinks on the English or Simple English Wikipedias in userspace that are a sandbox subpage. A special right would be needed for bypassing these sitelinks, though bots should probably not have this right (at least not on Wikidata, if implemented, could be allowed by default), considering that bots often create such items that should be deleted per policies. It would be far too difficult for each bot operator to create a list of such pages, plus new users might not be aware of those policies etc.
Comment 1 Jasper Deng 2013-07-10 05:45:44 UTC
Can't this be done by AbuseFilter already?
Comment 2 Hazard-SJ 2013-07-10 05:49:19 UTC
Shouldn't the extension still be self-sustainable?
Comment 3 Hazard-SJ 2013-07-10 05:50:01 UTC
Not all wikis with this extension may use AbuseFilter.
Comment 4 Jasper Deng 2013-07-10 05:50:47 UTC
Well, spam blacklist is a separate extension too.
Comment 5 Hazard-SJ 2013-07-10 05:56:21 UTC
And so is TitleBlacklist.
Comment 6 Jasper Deng 2013-07-10 05:58:05 UTC
Meaning, I don't think it's necessary and I'd suggest a WONTFIX for this.
Comment 7 Lydia Pintscher 2013-11-05 19:56:21 UTC
If this can be done with abusefilter then yes I don't see how this is a good use of everyone's resources to be honest.
