Change Details

=== Project documentation https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/Blocking_tools_and_improvements/Open_proxies ---- === Problem to solve Editing from open proxies is globally not allowed on Wikimedia wikis as a way to mitigate spam and vandalism. Currently there is no tool that automatically globally blocks identifiable open proxies, but [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ProcseeBot|User:ProcseeBot]] is successfully used on English Wikipedia. @Slakr manages ProcseeBot and is open to enabling the bot on Meta to set global blocks, under the condition that his code is not publicly available. We'll also want to acquire consensus from Stewards. ---- === Proposed solution * Enable ProcseeBot on Meta to make global blocks of identifiable open proxies. See also: {T380917}
