The current documentation seems to omit nearly all of the variables visible in SVN:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/AbuseFilter/AbuseFilter.class.php?view=markup As a minor point, if this intended to be used for all edits (not just mainspace pages), one might want to rename the variables that have "ARTICLE" in their names to a more general term like "PAGE" to avoid giving people the impression they only act on the mainspace. (Yes, I know everything is an "article" in the software, but from the end user's point of view talk pages and the like don't get thought of as "articles".) -Robert Rohde On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 6:24 PM, Brion Vibber <[email protected]> wrote: > Quick note -- we're now testing Werdna's AbuseFilter extension on > test.wikipedia.org.
