Hey Chris I was exploring SpamBlaklist Extension. I have some doubts hope you could clear them.
Is there any place I can get documentation of Class SpamBlacklist in the file SpamBlacklist_body.php. ? In function filter what does the following variables represent ? $title $text $section $editpage $out I have understood the following things from the code, please correct me if I am wrong. It extracts the edited text, and parse it to find the links. It then replaces the links which match the whitelist regex, and then checks if there are some links that match the blacklist regex. If the check is greater you return the content matched. it already enters in the debuglog if it finds a match I guess the bug aims at creating a sql table. I was thinking of the following fields to log. Title, Text, User, URLs, IP. I don't understand why you denied it.
