Web browser: --- Bug ID: 58928 Summary: Block open proxy edits to wikis using the DroneBL Product: MediaWiki extensions Version: REL1_22 branch Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: Unprioritized Component: TorBlock Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: and1etern...@gmail.com CC: agarr...@wikimedia.org, legoktm.wikipe...@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: --- Due to the large amount of vandalism from zombie proxies and other compromised machines, it would be helpful to automatically block said machines anon-only with account creation blocked to prevent the creation of vandalism-only accounts and sock puppets. To prevent this, the DroneBL blacklist (see http://dronebl.org) can be used to automatically prevent edits from known open proxies. Obviously, this won't stop all open proxy-based vandalism, but it will greatly cut down on the quantity of the abuse, and it will increase the time it takes for the vandals to find unblocked open proxies.
