[Bug 27988] Implement a form-based editor SpecialPage for MediaWiki:Titleblacklist
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27988 --- Comment #14 from snaevar snaevar-w...@gmx.com --- (In reply to comment #13) (In reply to comment #12) This isn't actually being worked on by RobLa; de-assigning. As a note on the enhancement, it'd be nice, but of course all the functionality of titleblacklist is present in AbuseFilter - we could just get users to move the rules over and switch off the extension? I don't neccesarily think a system that does everything is a good thing. Small systems that solve specific problems are good. As has already been noted previously, abusefilter is very complex compared to titleblacklist As for the actual bug. Its honestly not that hard to get around blacklists via trial and error when you can try as many times as you want, even if you dont know what is on the list (essays about hard security vs soft security from meatball come to mind). A form based system would be more a win in usability than security imho. Replacing titleblacklist with abusefilter would be a massive loss for usability. ...and that´s why mw:Extension:Phalanx would be a much better option than the AbuseFilter for this bug. Phalanx already covers TitleBlacklist and it is much easier to use than AbuseFilter. The Admin tools development team are thinking of enabling Phlanx to WMF wikis - see mw:Admin tools development . -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
