Usage of the title backlist is OK, but if you want to be more effective convert them to blocking abuse filter rules. Using the abuse filter you can get far more effective, also use checkuser and nail the underlying IP ranges.

We are fighting also again excessive spam attacks at the moment. Some (not cleaned up) blacklist spam list can be found in our wikihttps://wiki.documentfoundation.org/MediaWiki:Titleblacklist
Improvements are welcomed. Is there any "task force" collectiong obvious spam patterns?

If it isn’t too much of a bother can you confirm that you wiki (in ca
se
it’s different from English Wikipedia), can block the following link:
“http://0101footworld.com%E2%80%9D
It is blacklisted in the English Wikipedia blacklist; it gets blocked
in
English Wikipedia sandbox but for some reason not on my Wiki.
Is it possible that this might have something to do with Shell access
,
because my host server does not allow SSH?
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
MediaWiki 1.26.2 PHP 5.4.41 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.6.27-76.0 ICU 4.2.1 Server OS Linux (32-Bit)
I am having a lot of difficulty, setting up a blacklist aside from th
e
default Meta-Wiki one (I.e. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blac
klist
).
Following the examples here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist#Examples
in LocalSettings.php I included the following lines:
$wgSpamBlacklistFiles = array( "[[m:Spam blacklist]]", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist" );
But when I test this, by entering the links that are blacklisted in t
he
English Wikipedia blacklist, they don’t get blocked. To make sure I w
as
using the correct links, I tested them in the English Wikipedia sandb
ox
where they were successfully blocked.
Additionally, according to the documentation, when “$wgSpamBlacklistF
iles”
is used, the blacklists are solely the ones defined in this array, so
I
deleted the link to the Meta-Wiki blacklist and tried inputting some
junk
link (I.e. "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/abc") in the array. From wh
at I
understand, no link should have blocked in such a scenario. But again
the
links defined in the Meta-Wiki blacklist were blocked. It appears tha
t the
“$wgSpamBlacklistFiles” is having absolutely no effect whatsoever.
No matter what I do, the Meta-Wiki blacklist continues to work, but n
one
of the other blacklists I try to include, work. I have even tried creating a similar blacklist page on my own Wiki to
no
avail. I also remembered to clear the cache before each try. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
