Thanks for taking the time to report this! Please always post the exact error messages when reporting problems and follow the instructions.

What you're seeing is an issue with the global blacklist on meta that can be edited by Meta-Wiki administrators or stewards.

Confirming that no matter what I enter as username (also with latin letters), I always get:

The user name "xxxxxxxxxxxx" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: .*[\x{064A}-\x{064F}\x{0652}\x{0650}\x{0626}\x{0643}\x{0654}\x{0621}\x{0623}-\x{0625}].* <newaccountonly|autoconfirmed

this error also in Arabic language users, they can't create a new account due Title blacklist !

Ibrahim.ID raised the priority of this task from High to Needs Triage.Dec 18 2016, 7:02 PM

This is because the namespace name for 'User' in Sindhi ('يوزر') matches the regexp.

@Ibrahim.ID https://ar.wikipedia.org/ should not be affected. Are you sure it's the same problem? Or are you talking about a different wiki?

This edit should resolve the problem: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Title_blacklist&diff=16168826&oldid=16168503 (please verify).

But this is pretty weird. Has this just started happening now? This rule has been in place for more than a year, since https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Title_blacklist&diff=prev&oldid=13055359.

@Ibrahim.ID: Why did you reset the Priority field? Setting back to High...

@Aklapper Sorry, it's amistake
@matmarex yes, Arabic language close to Persian and both partially use the same letters, when you try to register with Arabic name you can't because of blacklist, this is my test:

@Ibrahim.ID What is the username you're trying to create? I was able to register a user named "Matma Rex (test 2016-12-20)" on https://sd.wikipedia.org/ just now.

the namespace User is used as ('يوزر') in Sindhi Wikipedia, Sindhi Wikipedia is based on right to left writing system and Sindhi Wikipedia follows , Sindhi-arabic script. We use word يوزر instead of its english wriitten word User. , however what is the exact problem, any way solve this issue on Sindhi Wikipedia and all other Wikipedias which facing same problem during new user account creation, its very irritating. plz immediately solve it, or give me system authentications to change it. Thanks

As far as I know, it is already solved. If it isn't, please provide an example username which can't be created.

@Ibrahim.ID What is the username you're trying to create? I was able to register a user named "Matma Rex (test 2016-12-20)" on https://sd.wikipedia.org/ just now.

This is the User name I want to create its in Sindhi ''' سورٺ پيتامبر ''', this account is not creating because blocked as above described.

I am trying to create سورٺ پيتامبر as username.

Unless there are errors in the TitleBlacklist extension itself, this is invalid for Phabricator IMHO.

(User creation log); 11:52 . . User account سورٺ پيتامبر (talk | contribs | block) was created by MarcoAurelio (talk | contribs | block)

I didn't checked any "ignore blacklist" or "ignore antispoof" so I think this is already solved.

I'll rename the account to some random thing so it can be recreated.

In that case, this is intentional. That username contains the character 'ي' (U+064A ARABIC LETTER YEH), which is seemingly intentionally blocked by this rule. At this point this is not my decision to make, but the stewards'. I see this is already reported at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Title_blacklist, I commented there too.

MarcoAurelio changed the task status from Resolved to Invalid.Dec 20 2016, 12:03 PM

Not a bug for the title blacklist extension itself but a syntax issue. Further discussion should take place at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Title_blacklist

You were able to create the account, because the blacklist entry is marked as 'autoconfirmed', and you are an autoconfirmed user. Try doing it when not logged in.

What is the password for User account سورٺ پيتامبر , kindly tell me so I login and change then password for this User account سورٺ پيتامبر .

No. Do not share passwords. Ever.
As written already before: The account will get renamed anyway.

The account was already renamed yesterday and globally locked for security
as well. That account name is free to register by anyone who desires.

SO how can i get access that account.

Please provide the error message (exact) and a translation into English. I tried creating an account on that wiki and it appeared to work.

account was created with [ this username پيتامبر سورٺ ] , but it still shows ( this message

The account that was created with username پيتامبر سورٺ is working, but I would drive your attention now towards the message that still is being shown after creating account, it appears soon after the account creation.
The message I have already described above , once again I am reproducing it here
