[edit] What can this extension do?

This extension adds a hidden form field to the edit page as an anti-spam/anti-bot check. If the field is not blank when the page is saved, the save will be aborted and a generic "you triggered the spam filter" page will be shown.

[edit] Installation

To install this extension, download the files from subversion and place them in /extensions/SimpleAntiSpam then add the following to LocalSettings.php:

require_once("$IP/extensions/SimpleAntiSpam/SimpleAntiSpam.php");
