Interwiki?
Extension:AbuseFilter on MediaWiki.org — thanks, I will probably update interwiki map to have this work as well: MediaWiki:AbuseFilter - :-)  MarkDilley

Helping Wikidom?
Could we import this logic to other wiki, like TVIV - that are suffering attacks MarkDilley
 * They don't even have the extension installed. Even it's installed, we need administrator permission to do that. --YiFei | talk 02:47, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

 * I've made a filter which disallows the users from creating usernames longer than 20 (recorded in log). But how's the spammers' usernames different from good ones? --YiFei | talk 04:14, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * As for TVIV, they really need the extension to be installed (I'm glad we have). --YiFei | talk 10:38, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
