Topic on Extension talk:SpamBlacklist

Tracked with task T254646 and sub-tasks.

(Originally posted at w:en:Wikipedia talk:Spam blacklist#Nomenclature given Back Lives Matter.)

I work in IT & just saw a company email stating that many in the IT world are changing nomenclature to “safe list / block list”. It occurred to me that we should start a discussion about it here, in light of institutional racism. It may be that the underlying etymology was not racist, but I think contemporary usage requires rethinking. Peaceray (talk)

I am all for rethinking the naming of this and other extensions following this scheme including related system messages. I think it is best to create general task on Phabricator for this and once the English speakers agreed on the change subtasks for the affected extensions can be created to work on.

The pre-existing umbrella task for this is T254646; for SpamBlacklist it's T254649 and T190521.

I was not aware that this was already added to Phabricator. Thanks for posting the respective IDs.
