Change Details

I recently came across massive ongoing page move vandalism on a Miraheze wiki caused by the use of ReplaceText. I blocked the user expecting for the edits to stop, but they did not. I locked the account, and that made no difference. Thankfully I could enforce a temporary measure by creating an abuse filter, however this should not be necessary to stop ongoing text replacement. Should tag #mediawiki-extensions-replacetext
