Well, I guess I'll stick around and see if I'm doing it wrong :P

If it isn’t too much of a bother can you confirm that you wiki (in case
it’s different from English Wikipedia), can block the following link:
“http://0101footworld.com”
It is blacklisted in the English Wikipedia blacklist; it gets blocked in
English Wikipedia sandbox but for some reason not on my Wiki.
Is it possible that this might have something to do with Shell access,
because my host server does not allow SSH?
Thanks and Regards,

Subject: Extension:SpamBlacklist
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,
