           Summary: Regex matching in edit summaries should be more
                    aggressive
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Spam Blacklist
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Whenever we blacklist links used to vandalize or spam in edit summaries, they
simply leave off the http:// or use "DOT com" and simply continue. Please make
matching in edit summaries (and log entries once bug 13599 is done) more
aggressive -- don't require http:// or even www. and allow DOT (etc) as
alternatives for a period

This should apply only to the edit summary and log entry checks; we would not
want to be so aggressive (normally) in the page body.

Potential implementation: Copy the blacklist to make a "strict" and "loose" set
of regexes. Then test the "loose" one against page content, and the "strict" on
against summaries.
