+#summary Prevent registration of user accounts according to policies
+#labels Stage-Beta
+
+= Introduction =
+
+On a server with public registration it is usually desirable to prevent registration of certain "reserved" accounts, such as "admin".
+
+This plugin allows you to reserve individual usernames, or those matching certain patterns. It also allows you to ensure that usernames conform to a certain pattern.
+
+= Configuration =
+
+Enable the module as any other:
+
+{{{
+    modules_enabled = {
+        "block_registrations";
+    }
+}}}
+
+You can then set some options to configure your desired policy:
+
+|| *Option* || *Default* || *Description* ||
+|| block_registrations_users || { "admin" } || A list of reserved usernames ||
+|| block_registrations_patterns || { } || A list of patterns matching reserved usernames (slower than block_registrations_users) ||
+|| block_registrations_allow || nil || A pattern that registered user accounts MUST match to be allowed ||
+
+Some examples:
+
+{{{
+    block_registrations_users = { "admin", "root", "xmpp" }
+    block_registrations_patterns = {
+        "master$" -- matches postmaster, hostmaster, webmaster, etc.
+    }
+    block_registrations_allow = "^[a-zA-Z0-9_-.]$" -- Allow only simple ASCII characters in usernames
+}}}
+
+= Compatibility =
+|| 0.9 || Works ||
+|| 0.8 || Should work ||
