Hello, is it possible to forbid new users and anonymous users to create pages containing external links? Thanks, Thomas

Hi Thomas, you can do that with AbuseFilter, and a rule that has the conditions: !"autoconfirmed" in user_groups & length(added_links) > 0 And in the action section, select "Prevent the user from performing the action in question" On Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 1:46 PM, "Thomas U.

Yes, although it seems a better approach to install a Captcha (ConfirmEdit extension), which will -by default- request to complete a captcha when adding a new link to a page (as well as eg. creating a new account).
