Extension talk:SmiteSpam

Feedback and suggestions are welcome! - Polybuildr (talk)

I love it, though some suggestions ...
A great one, I am currently smiting heaps of stuff. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 21:28, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) It will be nice if the "SmiteSpam" special page will be accessible via the "AdminLinks" special page provided by the Admin Links extension.
 * 2) Currently it is only possible to do a select all for all pages shown on the "SmiteSpam" special. It will be nice if this is possible to do it on a user level, e.g. select all edits by user "Dagobyte Dominator"


 * Ah, I see, usually there is only one spam page per spammer, so 2 is not as useful as it looked at the beginning. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 21:31, 20 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm very glad you found the extension useful, &#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93;. :D Thanks a lot for your feedback. I'll make it show up in the Admin Links soon. The second feature is also reasonably easy to implement. If it'll help I'll add it in. -- Polybuildr (talk) 11:40, 21 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. After sleeping over it I do not think it is necessary at all to add the second feature. Admittedly it took me a bit to gain experience with it's behaviour when using it. I should add a more detailed description soon to the extension's page. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 11:46, 21 October 2015 (UTC)


 * ✅ Links should now show up in AdminLinks interface. Tracked it as and resolved in 8eb8d80e02b. Hope it works, &#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93;! -- Polybuildr (talk) 18:42, 23 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Great, just installed the new version and it works perfect! Perhaps you could start versioning and tagging you extension to keep track of small or big changes to your extension. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 21:35, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Another suggestion. Perhaps it is nice to have the "Smite Spam" button also show up at the bottom of the special page. After one has worked her or his way through the suggested pages you have to return to the top of the page to get things going. That's a lot of scrolling and I already have reduced the respective stetting to 100 to avoid gigantic pages. Cheers --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 21:38, 24 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, that certainly makes sense. Willdo soon. :) -- Polybuildr (talk) 15:36, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

recentchanges table
Does this extension rely on RC, or revision? A user on #mediawiki some weeks ago said the extension didn't find/report/suggest for deletion any of their (rather stale) spam pages. --Nemo 14:52, 16 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why that would happen. The extension selects pages by looking at the  table and  retrieves the current content by calling , which should be the content of the latest revision. The pages are ordered by page_id though, and pages created by "trusted users" will not show up in the list either so maybe that has something to do with the problem. Of course, it could just be that the extension fails to flag those pages as spam. Is there a way we can get further details from the user? - Polybuildr (talk) 20:21, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
