Project: Spam Fighting Tools
What (summary)
The spam filter regex variable content ($wgSpamRegex in LocalSettings.php) needs to be editable via a wiki page by sysops who are also bureaucrats.
Why this is important
Currently links to sites that contain a word like "a-mbien" are rejected by the spam filter. There are many legitimate words that contain spam filtered words. For example the site in question contains the word a-mbiente which means "environment" in Spanish. But because the word a-mbien is contained in the word a-mbiente, it is rejected. Correcting this will support our user base.
DoneDone
able to block specific page saves by word or phrase or markup using regex syntax. or, When websites like http://www.revista-a-mbiente.com.ar/ work on our site
When sysops can save a page even if the spam filter is activated by some content on the page. All instances of infringing content should be noted (perhaps), so that the sysops can remove them if they like.
