Hi
I've set up a MediWiki Family, including the StopForumSpam extension.
Two questions
- Do I need to run the updateBlacklist.php script for the extension to Work?
- When I run the script, it outputs
Starting...
Done!
Took 2.4573900699615 seconds
-> After the execution, I would expect some entries in the ipblocks table, but it is empty. Is this correct (is my expectation wrong) or did I do something wrong?
Thanks!

No. The list is saved in object cache, those IP aren't immediately blocked. Only when they try to edit.
Ok, thank you.
Does it makes sense to share the objectcache table for a wiki family? Or will it mess things up?
It's possible to share it, all keys should prefix the database domain id (usually dbname) except global keys like this one that don't.
With several wikis, it's better if you use memcached or redis instead of the database as cache.
