dozen Wikipedia language versions. In early 2024, creation sped up, but all of the articles under a variation of this name have recently been deleted, some summarily, some based on a consensus. There are no live pages linked to <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q109748846" class="extiw" title="d:Q109748846">Aleksandar-Saša Trajkovski <small>(Q109748846)</small></a> as of today. I waited for all such pages to be deleted on all language versions in order to post this request. Sporadic creation attempts continue.

We should probably remove the second pair of apostrophes to fix this. </p><p>However, that would cause a potentially much bigger italics issue if there are ever any subsequent rules or comments that contain <code>''</code>. I don't think there'd be a huge need for pairs of apostrophes in other rules, but it's worth keeping in mind. Maybe we could add a comment at the top warning about this issue, and just not use <code>''</code> in any subsequent rules or comments. Obviously, using <code>&apos;&apos;</code> would cause a pair of apostrophes to render when viewing the blacklist, but (correct me if I'm wrong) I don't think the title blacklist extension would process the HTML entities, so that would cause rules using this approach to match page titles/usernames containing <code>&apos;&apos;</code> instead of ones containing <code>''</code>, which is obviously not desirable. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:TTWIDEE&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:TTWIDEE (page does not exist)">TTWIDEE</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:TTWIDEE&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:TTWIDEE (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Title_blacklist#c-TTWIDEE-20241124204400-Apostrophe_weirdness" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:44, 24 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-TTWIDEE-20241124204400-Apostrophe_weirdness"><span id="ooui-php-9" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui='{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}'><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-TTWIDEE-20241124204400-Apostrophe_weirdness"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Pppery-20241124232800-TTWIDEE-20241124204400"></span>I intentionally added the second pair of apostrophes there -
