# This is a title blacklist; every title that matches regex here are forbidden to create.
# Options exist to stop editing, account creation, and moves as well.  See mw:Extension:Title Blacklist for documentation
# See the talk page for more information.

# Please comment any additions made to the blacklist.
# Note: Internally, the pattern delimiter is '/', so be sure to escape all '/'s.
# UTF-8 mode is enabled. Do not use literal non-breaking spaces in regexes as some browsers cannot handle them.

.*.* <casesensitive | moveonly> # Question mark lookalikes, used for page move vandalism
