Could somebody add the following slangs to the list:
- Normal:
chud, chut, choda, chota, chudo, chuth and chudh
- In regex:
;chud: ;chut: ;choda: ;chota: ;chudo: ;chuth: ;chudh:
per the (ultra)short discussion here. (do not do it if you are not good at regex.)

For the line that says "Hindi for fuck", the label should have an example of the word in case someone can't find the detected word in the username.

A glitch?
Recently the username Pepernickel (talk · contribs) was caught, and I can't see why. It's *close* to matching the p[e3][nm][i1!][sc5z] rule, but being close shouldn't be enough to put it on the list. I'm worried there might be a bug in the code, and if there is, there might be more that we're missing. I'm not much for regex though so I could be missing something that to others is obvious. —Soap— 04:49, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
- Nathandrex (talk · contribs) shouldnt have matched either. Is there some other function running on top of the blacklist that catches names that "almost" fit? e.g. I could see a rule that treats drex as a variant of dreck as a good way to catch vandals who obfuscate their names to escape detection. pernic could be an odd deliberate misspelling of penis. If that's all that it is, it's probably good, but if it's not, then there's a bug. —Soap— 04:58, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

- It would be useful for these to be added. Except perhaps "moot" and "bund" which are commonly used in some other languages and therefore might be ordinary username requests. I am not sure if this request is to prevent any username with these words in the name, or just to raise alert for it.

Regex optimization
Some of the blacklist entries that have been added recently are regular expressions that are written in a complicated way and could be optimized to a shorter string that is easier to understand and requires less processing time, while still matching the same bad usernames. Here are some examples of possible improvements:
- ga(a|)nd(u|oo|)
- Can be simplified to gaa?nd. Using the ? operator to indicate an optional character is more efficient than using | with an empty string. Therefore, the string as it is can be rewritten to gaa?nd(u|oo)?. However, you will notice that since the "u/oo" part at the end is optional, it is actually redundant, since any username containing "gandu" or "gandoo" will match "gand" anyway.
- lu(n|l|ll|nd)
- Can be simplified to lu[ln]. Using character selectors is more efficient than the | operator. Also, similar to the case above, it is redundant to add extra cases to the regex to check for "lull" or "lund", since these will already match "lul" and "lun" respectively.
- l(a|)or(r|)a
- Can be simplified to la?orr?a. As noted above, using ? to indicate an optional character is more efficient than using the or operator with an empty string.
- b(ai|eh)ncho(a|)d
- Similarly, can be simplified to b(ai|eh)nchoa?d.
- tatta(y|)
- Can be simplified to tatta. Since the y at the end is optional, checking for it is redundant - any username containing "tattay" will match "tatta" anyway.
Hope this helps. 51.174.124.5 (talk) 11:28, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

A lot of usernames containing the string "bich" seem to be Vietnamese names. I'd like the "bich" filter to have a note saying that Bich is a Vietnamese name (like how the "porn" edit filter has the Thai name note and the "shit" one has the Indian one).
So, I'd like the following added to the string bich:

- For the first part - lets not bring a debate about transsexualism vs transgenderism in to this bot config - just say "is offensive to some" (I'll assume that you don't have to be in that class to be offended by it right?)

- @Xaosflux: (1) That's probably a smart idea lol. (2) I'll be honest and say I have no clue. I don't monitor Special:RecentChanges (instead opting for Special:AbuseLogs). That generally keeps me away from most new account creations. I did a preliminary search for you, and it's about what you might expect with good: Trap The Drum Wonder, Trappedinburnley, Trapolator, Traptor12 (currently active), and Trappy
but a lot of bad... Trap jezuss, Hail Hime the Trap King, TrapShooterPageCreator, Raptor trap, BASS TRAP MUSIC, Trap Mob, Trap (Baltimore), Cee_trap, Trap Meca, Trap_Wolf. What surprised me is that most of it is Trap (music) and not the derogatory term.
Either way, I can't see how much adding something more along the lines of:;trap:LOW_CONFIDENCE,WAIT_TILL_EDIT
could hurt. It might catch a few more vandals than we otherwise would (Example: This vandalism was just up for a year). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (edit conflict) –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 06:23, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Apologies if I didn't format this right, first time making a request here. Intent, as the section header suggests, is to catch lyrics website spammers, the websites almost always contain the word "lyric" or "lyrics", the usernames are often the name of the website but sometimes have numbers thrown in as well. "lyrics" would work as well, if you think that "lyric" might have false positives. NO_SIM_MATCH may be appropriate here (these are website names, so obfuscation is unlikely), but since the note says "rarely needed" I didn't add it above since I wasn't certain. creffett (talk) 18:49, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello @AmandaNP. I have a suggestion regarding to the username blacklist.
1. The current surge of so-called 'lyric video' creators. How about considering the "lyric video or LV" in the blacklist as ot might appear as a company/organization/any group?
The transcript for this is/are:
lyric[ ]video NOTE refers to the lyric video creators on social media outlets.
2. As the suppression of vandalism in pages with alleged Among Us game references like impostor/imposter/sus/amogus and other related terms. Users with those names or substring tends to vandalise pages with Impostor or SUS and alike in the mainspace.
The transcript will be like: impostor/imposter NOTE Among Us-related vandalism and disruptive editing.

This won't capture all kinds of imitation Chinese, but should cover the most common variety, ching chong or ching chang chong. Ching, chang, and chong by themselves should not trip the filter since they are common Chinese names. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 09:02, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
- Done * Pppery * it has begun... 18:06, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Pppery: It was entered wrong; it should be:
ching[ -]*ch[ao]ng :NOTE(imitation of the Chinese language)
–LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:07, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how what I did is wrong, as it seems to match the format of the other entries. Anyway, I have to wait 72 hours before fixing this due to the rules given in the page edit notice. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:55, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Add the following words to the blacklist:
- association
- associate
- partnership
- company
- organization
I feel like the reason should be self explanatory. (promotional usernames) 172.112.210.32 (talk) 15:49, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- firefly ( t · c ) 12:20, 28 January 2022 (UTC) Partly done: No objections in >72h - most of these are already there but I added "partnership" and "associate" singular.
Duplicated comments
Hi, I have noticed there are duplicated comments in the list and some of them seems to be mistakes. Please see if they need some fix.
The first duplication I found:
- nazi
- NOTE(Usernames that promote a controversial or potentially inflammatory point of view may be in violation of the username policy due to creating a hostile editing environment- but some real names contain the string "nazi" - especially names from the Middle East - be careful that this is not the case before blocking.)
- national ?social(ist|ism)
- NOTE(Usernames that promote a controversial or potentially inflammatory point of view may be in violation of the username policy due to creating a hostile editing environment- but some real names contain the string "nazi" - especially names from the Middle East - be careful that this is not the case before blocking.)
– the reference to 'nazi' as a part of some real names is not necessary in the comment to the 'national socialism' item.
The other one is here:
- rac(ial)?(ism|ist)
- NOTE(Accusations of racism may constitute a personal attack)
- antisemit
- NOTE(Accusations of racism may constitute a personal attack)
– antisemitism may be considered a special case of racism, but I think it would be better to use the specific term in the comment.
Best regards,

I know this has already been covered, but...
I have been seeing accounts containing the numbers 69 and 420, and sometimes, the numbers are mashed together. They have been used to vandalize Wikipedia (examples: [2], [3], [4]). I know that 69 has a sexual meaning and 420 is connected to marijuana use. Due to these numbers' indecent meanings, I think they should be readded to the blacklist. As a result, when these numbers appear alone or mashed up, they should be a red flag for someone who does not intend to positively contribute to Wikipedia.

- @Painting17: Do you mean to be using parentheses here, rather than square brackets? Also, why match
Test ?account
? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 03:39, 3 April 2022 (UTC)- Probably meant to do parentheses instead of square brackets. I saw one of those "test account" pages as a vandalism-account, but I was probably overreacting. Painting17 (talk) 17:13, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Painting17: Feel free to resubmit with syntax errors corrected and with an explanation of why each addition is necessary, preferably linking to examples of disruptive accounts that match the patterns in question. If you need help with regular expressions, see https://www.regular-expressions.info/ and https://regex101.com/. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 19:26, 18 April 2022 (UTC) Partly done. I added Shko, with some tweaks to avoid false positives on something like "JoshKorman", since I'm familiar with that case. As to the rest, though, there's insufficient explanation of why they're needed, and I'm uncomfortable actioning something where I'd have to fix syntax errors and guess at what was intended.
