Latest version of PMWiki (well, downloaded about 3/4 weeks ago).

You can try any of the pages at

http://www.followtheboat.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Main

And the blocklist page is the same as PMWikis - Site.Blocklist

It wouldn't be anything to do with me being logged in as administrator would it?

   After reading one user's issues with spam I thought I'd investigate the
   blocklist function. Clearly there is something I'm missing here. Despite
   reading the explanation on this facility I'm uncertain of a couple of
   things:

   1. Can I just copy and paste the contents of Site.Blocklist on PMWiki as I
see it?

Yes.  It's also possible to configure a site to automatically download that
page once per day and use it.

   The page on blocklists tells me there are two formats (using /\)
   yet the page Site.Blocklist is just a list of blocked words. No sign of
   any forward or backward slashes.

One format is a simple word format -- that's what you tend to see
on pmwiki.org.  The other format is a regular expression format, which
is denoted by using slashes.  Regular expressions allow patterns, checking
for word boundaries, etc.

   2. If I do have to add slashes, where do I put them? The example 'block:
   /\.uni\.ch/' is a bad one because there's a .ch involved here, just to
   complicate simple brains like mine! How would you, for example, block the
word viagra - do you just enter 'block:viagra'.

Yes, entering "block:viagra" will work, in that it will block
any post containing the string "viagra".  But be careful, because
something like "block:cialis" will end up blocking normal words
like "specialist".

   If so, why can I still enter this word in a page entry?
   I've created my own Site.Blocklist page and added a list of blocked words.
   I have added to my config file the lines:

   $EnableBlocklist = 1;
   $EnableWhyBlocked = 1;

   Is there something I'm missing?

I don't see anything you're missing.  Is there a url we could
look at?

What version of PmWiki are you running?
