Bug ID: 50869
Summary: Filter does not detect new links when a page is
created
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: REL1_21 branch
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: AbuseFilter
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
I am trying to prevent untrusted users from adding external links to pages on
my wiki. I have created the filter with these conditions:
(length(added_links) > 0) & !('trusted_user' in user_groups)
and it matches all old edits that I would like to block. During testing it also
blocks adding new links to existing pages.
But it fails to block creation of a new page containing external links (hit
count is not increased). Maybe I am doing something wrong. I have tried the
(length(added_links) > 0) alone, and it is the same. I also tried
(length(all_links) > 0) with the same result: new users still can create pages
containing external links. In the 'examination' all the filter condition
versions perfectly match the modifications they should have blocked.
I have also tried (new_size > 0) and this one works fine (new page creations
are blocked).
I have these settings for Emergency Disable feature (effectively turning it
off, hopefully):
$wgAbuseFilterEmergencyDisableThreshold['default'] = 1;
$wgAbuseFilterEmergencyDisableCount['default'] = 100;
$wgAbuseFilterEmergencyDisableAge['default'] = 1;
I can provide an account to my wiki for someone to test it, if necessary. I had
to disable creation of new users and anonymous editing because of spam.
