Thanks Rob, However, I am still getting some problem. I hope your patience would let you clarify my mind. I've first tried this line: $wgSpamBlacklistFiles = array("DB: mywikiDB My_spam_blacklist"); ,but I got an error message.

I've tried this line too: array("extensions/wikimedia_blacklist.txt"); ,but no success at all.

Thanks Rick, All is lookinf fine, but it doesn't work. I've tried with DB, and with a list as well as I report here in case 1), and case 2). Please, if you get a chance, get a look, and let me know where I mistaken. Thanks a lot, mauro. 1)--------------using ("DB: mywikiDB Spam_blacklist");--------------------- --------my LocalSettings.php -------------- $wgSpamRegex="/overflow:auto/"; require_once("extensions/SpamBlacklist.php"); $wgSpamBlacklistFiles = array ("DB: mywikiDB Spam_blacklist"); # mywikiDB is the correct spelling of my database. $wgDBname = "mywikiDB"; # I do have a page called Spam_blacklist copied from META. ,this is the MESSAGE ERROR I've got: "1146: Table ' mywikiDB.pt_cur' doesn't exist (mysql.hosting.com)".

require_once("extensions/inputbox.php"); #this call is working fine! Which makes sure that the path is ok.

How do you configure the SpamBlacklist to use a page in the MediaWiki namespace when you have multiple wikis being separated by the use of a prefix. The configuration asks you for a database name - I would assume that it will look for a default table name - can you tell it to use one of the tables with a prefix eg en_.

Hi, Let me put in another way my question: Is there any way to use $wgSpamRegex with a separate list of words/sentences which I don't want to be used in my wiki? Or, if there is no way to use such separated list with $wgSpamRegex, is there any problem to put all those words/sentences in my LocalSettings.php and in doing so, have an enormous LocalSettings.php file? I mean problems like performance, or even errors for LocalSettings.php should be like it is, small. Thanks a lot, mauro. -------------------------- Server: * PHP Version 4.3.11-dev; * Mediawiki: 1.5.3; * on Linux, Apache 1.3.31 base environment.
