These are just some general updates/changes I wish for this wiki to have/get.

Abuse Filter

Documented at MediaWiki.

What it does;

• Picks up any bad edits, vandalism or anything in bad faith (after configured)
• Can automatically warn, block, revoke permissions and tag any edit/editor
• Also allows people to learn Regex, as there is a reason to learn it.

LocalSettings.php - Rights (1, o1):

/* The Rights Giving Process */ $wgRemoveGroups['Bureaucrat'] = array('Abuse Filter Editor'); $wgRemoveGroups['Reviewer'] = array('Editor'); $wgAddGroups['Reviewer'] = array('Editor', 'Abuse Filter Editor'); /* The Abuse Filter Right Itself */ $wgAddGroups['Abuse Filter Editor'] = array('Editor', 'Abuse Filter Editor'); $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['abusefilter-modify'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['abusefilter-hide-log'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['abusefilter-hidden-log'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['override-antispoof'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['abusefilter-revert'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['abusefilter-view-private'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['abusefilter-modify-restriected'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['unblockself'] = true; /* Sometimes you will get your own actions caught in the filter */ That is for the group adding.

LocalSettings.php - Permissions (2, o2):

$wgGroupPermissions['writer']['block'] = true; /* You may think I, Tomtomn00 have lost my mind, but no. Moderate it better (if public). */ $wgGroupPermissions['writer']['reupload'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['delete'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['bigdelete'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['undelete'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['apihighlimits'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['browsearchive'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['move'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['movefile'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['autoreview'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Reviewer']['supressredirect'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Reviewer']['autopatrol'] = true; Advanded Permissions to moderate it.

LocalSettings.php - Error Fixing (3, o3):

$wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['block'] = true; /*Has to have Block in the Right. */ $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['createtalk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['createpage'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['editprotected']= true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['patrol'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['review'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['reupload'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['upload'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['patrolmarks'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['unreviewedpages'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['autoconfirmed'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['protect'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['autoreview'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['validate'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['editwidgets'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['editinterface']= true; $wgGroupPermissions['Abuse Filter Editor']['delete']= true; Plus a few more things, see below.

LocalSettings.php - For 'em sysops & normal editors (4, o4):

$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['abusefilter-modify'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['abusefilter-log-detail'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['abusefilter-view'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['abusefilter-log'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['abusefilter-private'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['abusefilter-modify-restricted'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['abusefilter-revert'] = true; Self-Explanatory.

LocalSettings.php - Editors can add it to 'emselves (5, o5)
$wgGroupsAddToSelf['Editors'][] = 'Abuse Filter Editor'; $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf['Editors'][] = 'Abuse Filter Editor'; Explained in title.

Public

We should go public again. Discuss on the talk page

LocalSettings.php - Rights/Permissions (1, o6):
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['upload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['reupload'] = false; /* Not too many permissions */ $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true; Not too many permissions, we write, they edit.

Spam Blacklist

Documented at MediaWiki.

Explanation from MediaWiki (1, o7):
The SpamBlacklist extension prevents edits that contain URLs whose domains match regular expression patterns defined in specified files or wiki pages. When someone tries to save a page, SpamBlacklist checks the text against a (potentially very large) list of illegal host names. If there is a match, the extension displays an error message to the user and refuses to save the page.

LocalSettings.php - Code (2, o8)
require_once( "$IP/extensions/SpamBlacklist/SpamBlacklist.php" ); Add that to the bottom of LocalSettings.php

Bad Behavior (unstable)

Not sure about this one, because it's unstable. See MediaWiki.

Description from MediaWiki (1, o9):

Bad Behavior is a set of PHP scripts which automatically blocks harvesters, spam bots, and other funky stuff. Bad Behavior version 2 was released on July 4, 2006 with better support for blocking malicious edits on MediaWiki. It installs much as any other extension. Bad Behavior is designed to integrate into your PHP-based Web site, running as early as possible to throw out spam bots before they have the opportunity to vandalize your site with their junk, or even to scrape your pages for e-mail addresses and forms to fill out. Not only does Bad Behavior block actual vandalism to your site, it also blocks many e-mail address harvesters, resulting in less e-mail spam, and many automated Web site cracking tools, helping to improve your Web site’s security.

Namespaces

LocalSettings.php - Editor Namespace (1, o10):

# Editor namespacedefine("NS_Editor", 300); #define NS_Editor variable at namespace index 300define("NS_Editor_TALK", 301); #define NS_API_TALK variable for talk page$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_Editor] = "Editor"; #add the Editor namespace as the name "Editor"$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_Editor_TALK] = "Editor_talk"; #add the Editor talk namespace$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_Editor] = true; #enable subpages for Editor$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_Editor_TALK] = true; #enable subpages for Editor talk For editor discussion only? If writers get protect permissions, and edit-protect, we have a discussion? (public-wiki).
