The SpamRegex extension creates a new page, "Special:SpamRegex", to filter out unwanted links or text. A full list of currently blocked links or text can be viewed on this same special page. The spamregexed expressions cannot be used in page content, edit summaries or page move summaries, depending on what was chosen by the user who blocked links or text.

    git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/SpamRegex%2Fen

    wfLoadExtension( 'SpamRegex/en' );
  • <translate> Run the [[<tvar name=update>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Update.php</tvar>|update script]] which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.</translate>
