User:HBC NameWatcherBot/Blacklist

Note: This page is protected to avoid abuse, if you wish to make a change please suggest it on the talk page.

This page is for strings that if contained in a username would indicate that the username should be reviewed by a human. Only lines are formatted like ";<string>:FLAG1,FLAG2...FLAGn"(the ":FLAGS" are optional) will be read into the blacklist. When a change is made to this page the bot will read it immediately. See also the whitelist. If obscenities bother you, don't click the show button.

• Y <- Working
• N <- Not working

Flags

Place a ":" after a string then one or more flags separated by commas. Flags can have parameters in the following form: FLAG(PARAM1|PARAM2...|PARAMn). Flag parameters cannot contain any commas<,> pipes<|>, or parenthesis<( or )>. Flags are optional. The order the flags are given do not effect results.

• ALTERNATE_TARGET(Page name): If this flag is used the bot will report to the page given as the parameter instead of its default location. The page will need "<!-- HBC NameWatcherBot allowed -->" somewhere on it or the bot will not write to it. Y
• HTTP_CHECK(ignore_fail): Treat the username as a domain name and attempts to find a server on port 80, it reports the results. If ignore_fail is given as a parameter then it will suppress the reporting of the pattern if it is unable to contact the server. Y
• LABEL(label): Lets you name the string something other than the actual pattern(mostly for long or confusing regexed) Y
• LOW_CONFIDENCE: If this flag is set then the bot will add a note to the report indicating that this pattern is prone to false positives and should be examined very carefully. Y
• NOTE(Custom note): If this flag is set then the parameter will be given as a custom comment on the report. Y
• REGEX: If this flag is set then the string will be interpreted as a regular expression. Y
• SOCK_PUPPET(Sock puppet name): If this flag is set then it associates usernames containing the string with a known sock puppet. If the user has a [[Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Foo]] it will also be shown. Y
• USE_HEADER: If his flag is set then the bot will put a second level header above the report. Please do not use this unless the page is going to a non default page via the ALTERNATE_TARGET flag. eg: "== [[User:<username>|<username>]] ==" Y
• WAIT_TILL_EDIT: If this flag is set then the string will not trigger a report until the user has edited. Y
