The Spambot extension is a quick extension written for use on the GBAtemp Wiki. It combines a series of actions that are often used against spambots to make it easier for wiki sysops to clean up the wiki.
What it does
- Delete all recently created pages by a user
- Block the user indefinitely
- Hide all related recent changes logs (marked as bot edits)
- Logs to the Spambot log instead of the Block Log.
Added rights
Two new rights are added:
- spambot => Grants the ability to use the Spambot feature and protects from being spambotted.
- spambot-protected => Protects against being "spambotted" but doesn't give access to the page.
Installation
The source code is available as a zip here. You can extract the Spambot folder to the Extensions directory of your wiki.
To install it to the wiki, add the following in the LocalSettings.php file of your wiki:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/Spambot/Spambot.php" );
You can verify the installation through Special:Version.
