MediaWiki talk:Filename-prefix-blacklist

Do we want to try to use this (adding GW)? -- ◄mendel► 08:01, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * "^GW" might be too generic, as there COULD be valid file names wanting to start with those two letters. I nominate "^GW[0-13-9]" (if I still remember my regex right) to be blacklisted.  It won't catch all, but would catch a good majority maybe.  "GW2" gets exempted from auto-blacklist for possible valid use. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 08:04, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * does it take regex btw? -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 08:05, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I added the GW prefix. Since all this does is pop up the warning in MediaWiki:Filename-bad-prefix on the upload page, GW2 images can still be uploaded. And I've worked around the regex issue; if we ever get a local title blacklist we want to blacklist "^Gw[0-9]*.jpg" (and yes, I know the  should be  , but it works as is and is less confusing). -- ◄mendel► 08:44, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * If it only pops up a warning, then the name "blacklist" is misleading ~_~""" -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 08:49, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
