Instructions

Instructions and examples for adding entries

QUICK template syntax — use this if you just added the regex yourself:

{{subst:titleblacklist
|subst=subst:
|mask=<nowiki>whatever you just added...</nowiki>
|addby=your user name
|comment=why you added it
}}

Full template syntax — use this if you're doing something complex or you're cleaning up after someone else:

{{subst:titleblacklist
|subst=subst:
|mask=<nowiki>text...</nowiki>
|addby=username
|comment=comment...
|expiry=date string...
|addtime=date string...
}}

Customize the above template's parameters to your needs. Any optional field can be left blank and it will automatically be filled in.
- subst – Don't touch this—leave this set as "subst:". It is required to avoid nasty parserfunctions and make the other stuff below easier.
- mask – the regex mask you added. Be sure to enclose in <nowiki>s as given above if the regex might interfere with template or page rendering.
- addby – your user name (plain text).
- comment – a quick note as to why you're adding it
- addtime – optional – (leave empty for default: now). If this was added at another date, specify its datestamp here (i.e., if someone added it a few days ago and forgot to log it).
- expiry – optional – (leave it out for 'indefinite'). If you want to specify the date at which someone should remove it, specify it here.
Place it on its own line right above {{/tablefooter}} (toward the bottom of this page).

If you don't need a parameter, simply leave it blank.

Dates can use anything that's supported by the #time parserfunction as an argument (e.g., +30 days, 12 December 2008, etc).

Examples

Any title with "boring" in it. Adding admin is Slakr, doesn't expire, was added just now with comment "interesting is better":

{{subst:titleblacklist|subst=subst:|mask=.*boring.*|addby=Slakr|comment=interesting is better}}

Any title with "boring" in it. Adding admin was Example, added just now, but expires 1 month from now. Comment is "interesting is better":

{{subst:titleblacklist|subst=subst:|mask=.*boring.*|addby=Example|expiry=+1 month|comment=interesting is better}}

Any title with "jimbo wales" in it. Adding admin was Jimbo Wales, added 8 November 2006, expires 5 March 2009. Comment is "there can only be one":

{{subst:titleblacklist|subst=subst:|mask=.*jimbo.*|addby=Jimbo Wales|addtime=8 November 2006|expiry=5 March 2009|comment=there can only be one}}
