Obsolete:AbuseFilter setup

This page contains historical information. It may be outdated or unreliable.

Note: AbuseFilter was already enabled for all wikis, no need for this. --Hydriz 12:51, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

• Go into the php configuration directory:

 cd /home/wikipedia/common/wmf-deployment

• Add the extensions tables to the project:

 php maintenance/sql.php --wiki=dbname extensions/AbuseFilter/abusefilter.tables.sql

• Add the wiki to the 'wmgUseAbuseFilter' array in InitiliseSettings.php.

• /home/wikipedia/common/wmf-deployment/wmf-settings/InitiliseSettings.php

• If needed, customize the settings for the extension in abusefilter.php.

• /home/wikipedia/common/wmf-deployment/wmf-settings/abusefilter.php
• If they want settings other than the defaults listed in the same file, you will need to enter them.

• Update the configuration site-wide:

 sync-common-all

• Alternatively, you can sync the InitiliseSettings.php and abusefilter.php files individually via sync-file if you so choose.

Important

Never assign the group 'abusefilter-private' to any usergroup. It is DEV ONLY.
