= Week 1 (25th May - 31st May) =
- Created minimum viable product (work continuing at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/214303/)
- Extension uses 3 checks to evaluate pages: a) ratio of external links to words, b) number of repeated external links, c) whether the page is new or not.
- These pages are listed on the Special:SmiteSpam page and can be deleted by selecting the corresponding checkbox and hitting "Delete selected".
- Tests set up for jenkins to run on new patch submission
- Some significant issues:
- A lot of the logic from WikiPage.php is being duplicated in SSWikiPage.php, I need to figure out a way to use the existing logic.
- I'm not sure I'm using i18n messages correctly yet, but everything is still heavily under development, so I hope I'll be able to clean that up later.
- The view to delete the pages is very rudimentary, just a table and checkboxes. The final version must, obviously, include some filtering and sorting features.
- The tests are still not too useful on real spam. The most important test, I think, will be the one that deals with checking how much wikitext is being used. I would love suggestions on implementing that test.
- The values returned by the checks are rather arbitrary, a convention/standard needs to be decided.
