it.wikinews : request for $wgAbuseFilterAvailableActions[] = 'block' ---- Please, in wmf-config/abusefilter.php (https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/operations%2Fmediawiki-config.git/HEAD/wmf-config%2Fabusefilter.php) inside // Custom permissions switch ( $wgDBname ) { ... could you add a case for it.wikinews case 'itwikinews': $wgAbuseFilterAvailableActions[] = 'block'; $wgAbuseFilterBlockDuration = '24 hours'; break; We don't have 24/24 surveillance and so --without the automatic block-- a stubborn spammer can too easily try to cheat a filter. We have discussed the issue in https://it.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinotizie:Richieste_agli_amministratori#Blocco_automatico_per_AbuseFilter we were only me and a global sysop. If more consensus is needed, maybe I can try to gain it via a discussion in a more general venue -- it will not be a crowd anyway :-) we're just a few active editors and the issue is way too technical for the average editor.
Yes, please try to get a few more editors comment on this, two people agreeing on this particular issue (which is considered quite controversial for some) is definitely too few. Thanks in advance :-)
Ok. I've opened a new discussion at the Bar -- our Village pump. https://it.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinotizie:Bar/Attivazione_del_blocco_automatico_per_AbuseFilter I'll post again here when a clear consensus will emerge there or the discussion anyhow is ended. Thanks for your quick reply.
The discussion in https://it.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinotizie:Bar/Attivazione_del_blocco_automatico_per_AbuseFilter is now stalling. We have 8 supporting comments --myself included-- and no one opposing. Last comment was posted on 13-dec-2013 and --I think-- no more are likely to come within one or two weeks. The discussion was linked in project's home-page and advertised by a MassMessage sent to all 7 sysops and to 10 more users, the ones in Special:Activeusers with 4 or more edits, excluded bots and users with only interwiki or user-space edits. I think we have more or less reached the full consensus allowed by the project's small amount of editing. Suggestions are welcome -- if you have any to share. Thanks for your attention.
