+1 to me too. Infinite modularity is bad, and the feature is pretty simple, probably less than 1 kilobyte of code without comments. >> Is it possible to write AbuseFilter so that it is able to make use of both >> bad and good lists stored within the MW namespace?

AbuseFilter is completely unrelated to this: AF blocks _edits_ while bad images list blocks _content_. > We could easily use a global bad image list right now. > The discussions on meta of "OMG you are censoring usage of this image in > all the wikis" could be endless, though. But if people fighting > crosswiki vandalism really want it, I'm for it. Local whitelisting does wonders:) Basically, same thing we have with SpamBlackist: I don't think anyone seriously complains is a site gets blacklisted these days. -- Best regards, Max Semenik ([[User:MaxSem]]) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
