Abusefilter rules question
by John 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

A am currently working on an account creation throttle filter for a private wiki. using the *action == 'createaccount' *filter I have been able to successfully limit spam account creations. Is there a way to check the IP address of someone creating the account to a whitelist so that if there is a match the filter is ignored? The closest I am seeing is the ip_in_range which still requires that an IP address be provided.

do we have a guide for using git to check out a complete copy of the current LTSB? I am in the process of documenting a few things and want to double check that I am doing it correctly.

Adding footer links
by Greg Rundlett (freephile) 06 Dec '16

I'm trying to add a "Terms of Service" link to https://freephile.org/wiki following the example at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Footer but for some reason it's not happening. In LocalSettings.php ... // Add a TOS to the footer // https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec global $wgHooks; $wgHooks['SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec'][] = 'lfTOSLink'; function lfTOSLink( &$skin, &$template ) { // define that msg MediaWiki:Termsofservice shall link to MediaWiki:Termsofservicepage Title $template->set( 'termsofservice', $skin->footerLink( 'termsofservice', 'termsofservicepage' ) ); $template->data['footerlinks']['places'][] = 'termsofservice'; return true; } I created both the 'interface message' https://freephile.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Termsofservice And the page nomination https://freephile.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Termsofservicepage I've run maintenance/runJobs.php There aren't any errors in my log, but the footer remains unchanged. Any idea why this isn't working? Thanks, Greg Rundlett https://eQuality-Tech.com https://freephile.org
