MediaWiki talk:Spamprotectiontext

From Katrina Help Info

The text makes it seem that spam protection will only block a page/section if more than one bad word occours. How do you set that up. That could be very useful and an important addition to your proposal. It would prevent false positives from being such a problem. --JoeChongq 04:56, 20 Jan 2006 (CET)

I wish. No, it doesn't do what you describe. I agree, it would be a desirable feature to have. The filter is the standard one provided. I wonder if a regex could be designed to perform this without programming?

I doubt it, but it would be a great thing to at least try out if possible. Someone with more regex knowledge might know. I am not sure how good it would be but it would be worth experimenting with. If it became popular (or included in MW by default) spammers could quickly adapt by spamming only one keyword at a time. --JoeChongq 00:00, 21 Jan 2006 (CET)
