MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist

I've mentioned this before, but this really isn't a particularly great extension - it blocks links and links only. There are alternatives that would improve matters immediately and immensely - TitleBlacklist to block the likes of [[Talk:Something/]] and [[Talk:/Something]] , preventing users from creating User: pages with their first edit by requiring the Autoconfirmed permission to do so, adding a $wgSpamRegex to LocalSettings.php to prevent pages from being saved if they contain obvious trigger words like "viagra", "cialis", "online casino", "ugg boots", "payday" and so forth. They just aren't being used. - SanityOrMadness 17:13, 9 April 2013 (EDT)

Well, if anybody knows how to get them to work, they've got my thumbs up to do it. --ItsWalky 19:37, 9 April 2013 (EDT)
