Summary: Make it so when an attempt is made to save an edit with
a blacklisted site the source is shown
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Spam Blacklist
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Currently when a user attempts to make a change which includes a blacklisted
website they receive a "Spam filter notice" which tells them why their change
was blocked but doesn't show the source of their attempt change.
With certain web browsers (particular I.E.), this means the entire attempted
change is lost as using the content disappears when one uses the back button.
Technically the content must still be somewhere in memory since refreshing
results in another submission attempt but recovering it is obviously out of the
realms of most users. If the edit was part of a large attempted change this is
going to be rather annoying to the person who attempted to make the change, who
may not have been aware of the site being black-listed and may not have been
trying to do any harm.
To prevent this, I propose that when a change is blocked, the software should
show the source of the attempted save as happens when the database is locked
for example.
Cheers
