Hey,

I was looking through the configuration trying to debug my issues from my last
email and noticed the list of blacklisted IDs.  They appear to be numbers with
special meaning.  I was curious about two things, why are they blacklisted and
what is the meaning of the remaining number?

* 1: I imagine that this just refers to #1
* 23: Probably refers to the 23 enigma
* 42: Life the universe and everything
* 1337: leet
* 9001: ISO 9001, which deals with quality assurance
* 31337: Elite

I guess we probably ought to delete those default values. They where added for something easter-egg like in the Wikidata project, and might well get in the way for third party users. This is also not the list of actual IDs that got blacklisted on Wikidata.org, which was a bit more extensive, and for instance had Q2013, the year in which Wikidata launched. I submitted a removal of these blacklisted IDs from the default config in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/172504/

The only number that left me lost was 720101010. I couldn't figure this one out.

720101010 is 1337 for trolololo :)

Cheers
