Writing at Philippe's request in the hope that someone at the Hack-a-ton this weekend can work on it. Because of the severity of threats of harm we want to try and create a way for staff members to be notified when one could require action. To do this we would like to create a script (perhaps on cron) to help. It would want to: * Search specific pages (At first English Wikipedia's Administrator Noticeboard (Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard) and the Incidents subpage (Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents) * Fetch the current copy of the page and look for specific phrases or words (example: 'bomb threat', 'suicide', 'threat of harm') * When a flagged word or phrase is found email specified people telling them a. That a flagged word had been found b. The word that was found (and if possible the name of the section where it was found) c. A link to the page (and if possible the section) where the word was found. * Not trigger another email if it sees the same phrase, in the same location, within the next x hours (2?) * Repeat the search every 5 minutes Obviously an interface wouldn't really be necessary (or a good use of time) but making it relatively easy for someone with the access to change would be great as well.
Surely some extension (or similar) to AbuseFilter would be best, so on addition this gets caught?
(In reply to comment #1) > Surely some extension (or similar) to AbuseFilter would be best, so on addition > this gets caught? Can the AF do e-mail notifications? If not, that could be a useful feature and would solve this problem.
I don't think so, but that is what I was suggesting :)
It might be possible to add an "email" action.
