The default block duration for AbuseFilter is indefinite. $wgAbuseFilterBlockDuration can be set to alter this.
My question is: can we make it different for IPs?
The use case here is RationalWiki, which is currently getting a very tedious troll coming in from Tor. We don't actually want to switch off Tor and other proxies except in dire circumstances, but we would quite like the AbuseFilter (whose rules we have highly tuned) to block its positives for, say, a few days. (Usernames, they can stay indefinite.)
Is there a way to do this - different behaviour for usernames and IPs?
- d.
Just a guess here, but couldn't you load a list of Tor exit nodes into a filter and have it deny an edit if those IPs hit certain keyword filters?

If I really wanted I could switch on the proxy blocking, which would catch Tor too, but community consensus is we only do that when a concerted troll is really pushing it (we're not popular enough for it to be a regular thing).
For the moment I've set default abusefilter block duration to 314159 seconds, and assumed that anyone who catches it repeatedly will get blocked repeatedly.

It looks like this functionality is actually present, just not documented. Set $wgAbuseFilterAnonBlockDuration.
Excellent, thank you!
