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.
