--- Comment #8 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #7) > Could adding a programmatic way to check for blacklisted URLs lead to smarter > spam? I think there's a concern that adding this functionality, in batch form > or otherwise, would make a wiki more susceptible to abuse. Thoughts? Anyone can currently download https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist and parse it locally which would be much faster than trying to use an API to check if a link is blacklisted. The only concern I would have is if a a file blacklist is being used, there's a good chance it isn't public. Might be worth automatically disabling the API module if any file blacklist is being used. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
