Hello!
I am currently evaluating Anubis (https://anubis.techaro.lol/) to
protect my Wikis from (AI) crawlers.
Initial tests were successful and everything looked fine and as it
should - using Firefox. Then I tried Chrome and I am blocked from
accessing the wikis immediately.
I am not sure if Anubis blocks the access, or Chrome triggers some
problem with the way Anubis wedges itself between the user and the wiki
in Apache.
I guess running MediaWiki behind Anubis is not that uncommon. Is this a
problem others have seen and solved? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Joern

As per the MediaWiki version lifecycle[1], I would like to announce the
formal end of life (EOL) of MediaWiki 1.44 as of July 31, 2026.
1.44.6 is the last release for this branch.
This means that MediaWiki 1.44 will no longer receive maintenance or
security backports. It is therefore strongly discouraged that you continue
to use it.
Please upgrade to MediaWiki 1.45, which will be supported until the end of
December 2026. Or to MediaWiki 1.46, which will be supported until the end
of July 2027.
Thanks!
