Hey Quim,
Thanks for such a detailed response. Sorry for being inactive for these few
days, I was undergoing some coursework evaluations.

Hi,
I am Anubhav Agarwal, a B.Tech 4th Year student at IIT Roorkee. I wish to
apply for GSoC 2013 and I am thinking about Bayesian Spam Filter as a
project for the same. I have drafted the Idea on my
talk<http://www.mediawiki.org/**wiki/User:Anubhav_iitr<http://www.med…
page.
I have done a first reality check with Chris Steipp, who oversees the area
of security and also spam prevention. Your idea is interesting and it seems
to be feasible. This is a very good first step!
It would require adding a hook to MediaWiki core, but this could be a
small, acceptable change. The rest could be developed as an extension of
the ConfirmEdit extension.
It might have a performance penalty in a site like English Wikipedia with
plenty of concurrent edits, but for starters it could be potentially useful
to the 99% of MediaWiki instances that have a significantly smaller number
of daily edits and especially a very small number of editors and tools able
/ happy to deal with spam.
I was thinking of creating a Job Queue for big websites like Wikipedia,
each edit will go in a queue which will be processed offline and then later
roll backed to the original content if it triggers the alarm.
As a next step, please
1. Create a subpage for your proposal e.g.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/*
*User:Anubhav_iitr/Bayesan_**spam_filter<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Anubhav_iitr/Bayesan_spam_filter>
2. File an enhancement request at
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.**
org/enter_bug.cgi?product=**MediaWiki%20extensions<https://bugzilla.wiki…
"Extensions requests" explaining your proposal and linking to the
related wiki page.
3. Reply to this thread sharing the link to the bug report so anybody
interested can watch it.
Here is the link for the
bug<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47207>07>,
as you said.
I request you to go through this and give your suggestions on it.
Yes, but you will get more feedback if you are diligent answering to the
feedback received:
