Thread:Project:Support desk/Improving the effectiveness of regular expressions against vandalism

The current mechanism that identify vandalism is based on regular expression applied to "illegal" variations of words. This is not effective, it can be easily bypassed (as has been seen very often at least in the pt.* community).

I've proposed a solution to it here.

The translation to English resumes in: 1) provide a default (and a good) spell checking mechanism. Just allow save the wikitext if all words exists (using the dictionary, inflections, etc.). 2) After this process send this data to the layer that counters vandalism (anti vandalism tools).


 * 1) A database of words that "exist", already exist, and its open: the wiktionary.
 * 2) A set of libraries for a lot of programming languages exist that do inflections of words.
 * 3) That is very good, because the side effect of it is: articles will be more correct!

What is missing?

There are any projects, extensions, looking this?
