Currently the ArticleFeedback.php has the following code to allow users to blacklist some categories: $wgArticleFeedbackBlacklistCategories = array(); I would like it to have at least one default category (such as [[Category:Exclude in print]]), whose name should be defined in a MediaWiki: message (such as [[MediaWiki:coll-exclusion_category_title]]), so that users can have by default the option to hide the tool from some articles by specifically adding them to that default category or adding the category to some template (like the ones used on disambiguation pages). The Collection extension offers also another option: the message [[MediaWiki:Coll-template_blacklist_title]] is used to define/translate the name of another message ([[MediaWiki:PDF Template Blacklist]]) which is then used as a place for a blacklist of templates. It seems this method is not recommended though: "The preferred method to exclude templates in exports is to add them to [[Category:Exclude in print]]." If not, the AFT could have such a blacklist available through an analogous MediaWiki message, allowing admins to add or remove categories as needed without having to ask a change here on Bugzilla.

Please localize [[Category:Article Feedback Blacklist]] for non English Wikipedias.
The extension homepage at [[mw:Extension:ArticleFeedback]] says "This extension has been archived. This extension has not been maintained in some time, and no longer supports recent releases of MediaWiki. The following other choices are still available: [[mw:Extension:ArticleFeedbackv5]]" Furthermore, ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier) was removed from all Wikimedia wikis in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/98074/ It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development of ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier). Closing this report as WONTFIX to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development of ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier) again. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
