Tomasz W. Kozlowski <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #33 from Tomasz W. Kozlowski <[email protected]> --- After reading the comments above, especially comment 22, comment 28 and comment 30, it is my understanding that there is a strong opposition among Bugzilla lurkers and the sysadmin community to impose further restrictions on anonymous editors on any WMF wiki. Instead, it is preferred to use other existing ways of combating vandalism; here (repeated) are some suggestions: * (1) Give a try to the FlaggedRevision extensions first; bug 44587 tells us that you only installed it recently; * (2) Make more use of the AbuseFilter rules (I appreciate your concern from comment 26, but I believe there are many helpful users from whom you can borrow some working filters); * (3) If you're having problems with users inserting spam links, you can make a liberal use of [[mw:Extension:SpamBlacklist]]; the English Wikipedia has a nice list at [[:en:MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]]; * (4) If you're experiencing same (or similar) pages being created over and over again, you can restrict their creation with [[:tr:MediaWiki:Titleblacklist]] — again, have a look at how they do that on enwiki: [[:en:MediaWiki:Titleblacklist]]; * (5) Port a vandalism-fighting bot; comment 30 suggests asking the operators of [[:fr:User:Salebot]] or [[:en:User:CluebotNG]]. Since Bugzilla does not use precedents, and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, I suggest that you try out some (or all) of these tools, and if this doesn't work, then: * (1) Get more consensus from the tr.wikipedia community. http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/SummaryTR.htm tells me there are 64 very active users on your wiki, and yet only 14 voted in favour of imposing the restrictions you requested. * (2) Start a global discussion on Meta ("How projects can request to restrict page creation") that was suggested in comment 28. Having written all that, I am now closing this bug as RESOLVED WONTFIX. Please feel free to reopen it when there is either (1) overwhelming tr.wikipedia community consensus or (2) global consensus that wikis are allowed to restrict edit rights for anonymous users. As I understand, it would be preferable to have both (1) and (2). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
