[22:08:06] Specifically that? [22:08:14] Or a generic, "a large hosting provider"? [22:08:58] A large hosting provider mostly [22:09:10] On enwiki there's already a bot which does something similar [22:09:11] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ST47/icloud [22:09:22] I figure it wouldn't be too hard to try and extend it globally [22:09:37] Would also be rather beneficial considering the policy of immediately beaning any webhosts encountered [22:10:34] But mostly just the ability to put an ASN into a box and click "block" and then having that entire webhost being blocked [22:18:23] is that a global policy? unless something is being massively abused, seems silly to block a whole provider [22:18:59] I'm going off of this https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/No_open_proxies [22:20:19] p858snake> I can cite the genshin vandal as one who massive abuses a specific provider [22:21:32] I mean, there's https://isprangefinder.toolforge.org/ to help with that sort of thing if local policy permits. [22:22:03] It doesn't do the actual block itself, but it does give you a bunch of links to Special:Block with the form pre-filled [22:22:35] There can be a whole bunch of false positives when you look at an entire ASN though, so it's really better to review each range [22:24:42] Yeah [22:25:29] I was thinking to only ban an entire asn if its exclusively used for webhosting [22:25:31] Aka 9009 [22:25:59] I run https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AntiCompositeBot/ASNBlock/global but haven't had the time to do a blocking run from it recently [22:27:26] AntiComposite> Like a global blocking run or just local [22:28:06] global [22:28:20] p858snake, as a rule of thumb, every major hosting provider is massively abused [22:31:08] Well, if you do get the time for that sometime later I think a lot of people would appreciate that [22:31:25] You should probably file a task in phabricator or similar [22:31:31] Yeah [22:45:19] the dream would be that operator (via AS number) becomes one of many data points we can feed into an IP reputation system that is also available to AbuseFilter, so that we don't have to do as many wholesale blocks [23:11:21] AntiComposite It does seem like work is being put into developing better abuse mitigation tools [23:11:35] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IP_Editing:_Privacy_Enhancement_and_Abuse_Mitigation [23:11:36] Mainly this [23:12:47] Does anyone here know if stopforumspam is working on any projects? [23:12:53] I have seen it installed but it seems kinda inactive [23:18:25] it's enabled on a handful of wikis [23:18:44] but report only mode on most, except eswikiversity
