Description Mike.lifeguard 2008-11-14 01:15:06 UTC
Whenever we blacklist links used to vandalize or spam in edit summaries, they simply leave off the http:// or use "DOT com" and simply continue. Please make matching in edit summaries (and log entries once bug 13599 is done) more aggressive -- don't require http:// or even www. and allow DOT (etc) as alternatives for a period

This should apply only to the edit summary and log entry checks; we would not want to be so aggressive (normally) in the page body.

Potential implementation: Copy the blacklist to make a "strict" and "loose" set of regexes. Then test the "loose" one against page content, and the "strict" on against summaries.

Might be solved by AbuseFilter, per bug 4459, comment 9.

Alternatively, could be done simultaneous to a total rewrite.
