I would develop it as an independent extension, which could then hook into ConfirmEdit or AbuseFilter. Anubhav wrote: > Tasks > > Create a tool for wiki users to report Spam.

I think it would be more interesting if it could be trained automatically. Perhaps by automatically learning rollbacks as "wrong".
