I'm having crazy problems with the AbuseFilter extension, and I can't get any
filters to do anything at all. No matter what kind of actions I try to filter
out, they get through without the Abusefilter doing anything to stop them, it
doesn't even log the events in the abuse log. Even running it in test mode and
comparing all the old edits, nothing matches the filter. For example, the
"shouting" filter which is intended to catch anyone typing in BLOCK CAPITAL
LETTERS, completely ignores anyone who has been doing it.
It's blind.
The filters I've been trying are the ones wikipedia itself uses, so they should
definitely work. For some reason it just doesn't seem to be paying attention to
any of the edits though.
I have two other extensions installed, AntiSpoof and "bad behaviour"...
Apparently AntiSpoof is required before you can install AbuseFilter, so I doubt
there could be any conflict there. Bad behaviour is working effectively, so
effectively that it wouldn't allow me to install AbuseFilter to begin with
because it seemed to think the installer was a bot or something? So I had to
temporarily disable it in order to get AbuseFilter installed. Bad behaviour is
still currently disabled so I don't think there could be any conflict there
either.
I'm on mediawiki 1.16, the latest one. My extensions are all also the versions
which go with 1.16. The server is Apache/Linux. PHP 5.2.42 and MySQL 5.0.85.
Has anyone heard of this happening before, or got even the slightest clue what
the problem could be? Even the faintest idea or the wildest guess would be
helpful, to give me something to look into. I've got nothing.
