Description Dennis Acevedo 2013-06-17 14:04:48 UTC 
I have $wgSpamRegex set up to "Block ALL external links":

$wgSpamRegex = "/http:\/\//";

However, if someone uses the "Add Topic" tab, and puts an external link as the "Subject/headline", then $wgSpamRegex gets bypassed.

It does still block any external links that are put in the body of the "Add Topic" page.
