Hello, I've been thinking of making an extension like this for a while, but I finally got round to it today. The TimeChanges extension measures the time between a user viewing a page and then saving it. If the measured time is too short, the edit is rejected.
One motivation for this extension is to prevent automated edits of a certain kind where a script or robot attempts to rapidly edit pages. There appears to be similar extensions for WordPress that attempt to detect robot-like behaviour. I've uploaded the code to a repository in the following location: http://hgweb.boddie.org.uk/TimeChanges I think there are probably other interesting techniques that could be applied, too. These days, deploying Moin can be a challenge due to the pervasive spamming that now takes place on the Web, and it would be interesting to explore solutions that make it easier to cultivate trusted communities of wiki contributors without the manual effort that is currently needed to do so. Maybe this, amongst other counter-measures, may be useful to someone. Paul P.S. This might also serve as inspiration or as a reference to other potential extension authors, especially since it isn't much code at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
