as title.
(Batch change) These are low-priority miniprojects that I can mop up at some point when I'm doing general code work as opposed to working on a specific projects.
[Batch change] Removing Dave McCabe from CC, who I somehow managed to add to the CC list of 12 bugs assigned to me.
Some checks are possible: * Title, user, action and SHA1 of file Reference: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/AbuseFilter/AbuseFilter.hooks.php?view=markup#l280 Especially for Commons it would be desirable if we could check the *content* (wikitext) of the new file for "source= google,..." and other invalid sources to automatically tag them. Thank you.
(In reply to comment #3) > Especially for Commons it would be desirable if we could check the *content* > (wikitext) of the new file for "source= google,..." and other invalid sources > to automatically tag them. > > Thank you. I tried to lay the foundation for this in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/51326 (not yet merged) where I changed the extension to use a hook which provides more data than just the file names... but this still requires some changes to MediaWiki itself and then a follow up to the linked patch. I'll keep you updated.
Just found that AbuseFilter already checks file uploads, but there aren't many variables available. Currently those variables include: Edit count of user (user_editcount) Name of user account (user_name) Groups (including implicit) user is in (user_groups) Whether or not a user is editing through the mobile interface (user_mobile) file_articleid = page id of the image page, or "0" for new uploads file_namespace = "6" file_text = unprefixed page name of the image page file_prefixedtext = full page name of the image page Action (action) = "upload" SHA1 hash of file contents (file_sha1) Whether or not the change was made through a tor exit node (tor_exit_node) Unix timestamp of change (timestamp) Missing: upload comment wikitext of the image page (for new uploads)
Any updates about progress on this bug Please . We prefere this getting fixed. Rgds
This report has low priority, but if you have a high interest in getting a specific problem fixed, you could provide a patch to speed up the process. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker for more information.
This is still blocked by changes to how MediaWiki handles uploads (and especially the page creations linked to them)... we need more context from that side (right now AbuseFilter has no way to know about the wikitext used as description).
This bug enables bad-faith editors to upload media files with an invalid {{permissionOTRS}} tag without anyone noticing. Therefore, in my opinion, this is not a low priority enhancement.
[As long as nobody works on this ticket it de-facto will be low priority, no matter what the Priority field will be set to.]
