[12:08:46] Hi! Which extensions would you recommend as a base to fight SPAM on a mediawiki instance where everyone can edit? Is there anything like a service we can use similar to Akismet on Wordpress? [12:08:57] !spam [12:08:57] For information about combating and handling spam in MediaWiki, see . [12:09:56] In particular, I reccomend using the confirmEdit extension, with either recaptcha or with the option where you make your own quiz like captcha [12:18:53] Hmm okay, but there is no extensions to automatically flag changes based on specific keywords or integrations with services like Akismet, right? I saw the AbuseFilter extension, but it's a bit too complex for my use case, I just want to flag edits with specific keywords so that someone can moderate the page if needed. [12:19:42] luouis: I don't know about akismet. There is Extension:StopForumSpam [12:20:41] Thanks, I'll have a look! [12:20:58] luouis: There is also $wgSpamRegex if you want to block certain keywords entirely (And Extension:SpamBlacklist for urls) [12:21:47] however for most of the flagging workflows, you'd have to use abusefilter, as most other tools are a very binary allow or disallow the edit [12:23:31] hmm I see, I might have to go deeper into the docs then. Thanks! [12:24:25] I guess there is also Extension:FlaggedRevisions if you want to make specific pages be moderated, but its kind of complicated to setup
