Manual talk:$wgProxyList

What's the best way to make use of the stopforumspam list? Just create a big $wgProxyList array with all those IPs, and update it periodically?

I wonder what would be the best way to automate the updating. It would probably be beneficial to create some mirrors of http://www.stopforumspam.com/downloads/ so that there would be easier access to the list for those who want to download it from a shared hosting environment.

Reading from a file
I noticed that User::isLocallyBlockedProxy contains: What kind of format would that file need to be in? Leucosticte (talk) 14:02, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Reading from a file, cont'd
I tried putting this little snippet in LocalSettings.php: It works when the file is short, but not when it's long; when it's several megabytes, I get the white screen of death (even though I set up error reporting). That kinda defeats the point of using a file rather than a wiki page. Leucosticte (talk) 15:27, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
