I was trying to run a test to see what modifications I could make to the interface message that users encounter when trying to create an account that matches an expression in the title blacklist, but I was still able to create the accounts. Even after blacklisting everything: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Titleblacklist&curid=80922&diff=244477&oldid=244476, MediaWiki warned me when I tried to create any page that I was overriding the blacklist, but still allowed me to create an account (without checking the override title blacklist box). Am I missing the obvious here, or is something broken?

Hi @Mww113, thanks for taking the time to report this! I assume this is about the SpamBlacklist extension? I've set that project. For future reference,setting projects is welcome.

Might depend on your expectations. Would you also share what you expected? Also see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug

Thank you. I was expecting to see an error while attempting to create the account due to a conflict with the title blacklist, but instead the account was created.

Due to SUL finalization, the title blacklist for new accounts is now managed globally, and rules that block account creation can only be added from the meta title blacklist.

(See T38939: User name blacklist should be managed globally to avoid SUL fragmentation for more details).
