Ugh, that was meant to go to wikitech-l too...

Hi,

A bit of background: Not long ago we launched mobile editing. Soon after that we discovered that the mobile editor fails on many wikis because we hadn't thought think about AbuseFilter support. We're trying to fix this now.

Statistics about the most frequent AbuseFilter error codes we're getting: https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/mobile/cards/1162 Related bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52049

After getting some initial information from legoktm, my thoughts are:

• Probably no changes to AbuseFilter are necessary and we should

implement everything in MobileFrontend.

• We should display the warning message (edit.warning in API response)

for all codes (edit.code in API response) that start with abusefilter-warning* and allow the user to resubmit.

• We should display the disallow message (edit.warning in API

response) for abusefilter-disallow and not allow the user to resubmit.

• We should display edit.warning message if present or a general one

and not allow the user to resubmit for all the other error codes (until now we've got abusefilter-blanking, abusefilter-blank, abusefilter-imza, abusefilter-blocked-display and abusefilter-autobiography, but they don't happen too often).

Are my assumptions correct? Any thoughts or suggestions?
