SpamRegex extension creates a new page, Special:SpamRegex, to filter out unwanted links or text. A full list of currently blocked links or text can be viewed on this same special page. The spamregexed expressions cannot be used in page content, edit summaries or move summaries, depending on what was chosen by the user who blocked links or text.

Installation[edit]
- Copy the
SpamRegexfolder and its contents into$IP/extensions/. - Create the
spam_regextable with the SQL query below or run SpamRegex.sql against your wiki's database from command line. - Include the
SpamRegex.phpin LocalSettings.php/GlobalSettings.php. - This extension uses Memcached - please check if Memcached is configured properly in Global/LocalSettings.php.
If administrators or bureaucrats cannot access the extension, check if relogin helps. If not, please check if the administrators and bureaucrats permissions are not overwritten after the initialization of the extension. If which case, the permissions should be appended (the extension adds one new permission right).
