I have this in my Localsettings.php
wfLoadExtension( 'SpamBlacklist' );
$wgSpamBlacklistFiles = array(
"
"
);

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 the
default Meta-Wiki one (I.e.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist
).
Following the examples here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist#Examples
in LocalSettings.php I included the following lines:
$wgSpamBlacklistFiles = array(
"[[m:Spam blacklist]]",
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist"
);
But when I test this, by entering the links that are blacklisted in the
English Wikipedia blacklist, they don’t get blocked. To make sure I was
using the correct links, I tested them in the English Wikipedia sandbox
where they were successfully blocked.
Additionally, according to the documentation, when “$wgSpamBlacklistFiles”
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 what 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 that the
“$wgSpamBlacklistFiles” is having absolutely no effect whatsoever.
No matter what I do, the Meta-Wiki blacklist continues to work, but none
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.
Regards,
