Description
Background
@Ladsgroup
introduced (
T337431
T279275
Special:BlockedExternalDomains
during
Wikimedia-Hackathon-2023
. The special page manages spam blacklists at individual wikis. It stores the list of blocked domains on-wiki as JSON, see
as an example.
Problem
Special:BlockedExternalDomains predates CommunityConfiguration the extension by a year or so. Hence, it includes its own implementation of the wiki page integration. In addition to that, Special:BlockedExternalDomains does not appear in
, reducing its discoverability.
Solution
Integrate Special:BlockedExternalDomains with CommunityConfiguration. This should be fairly straightforward, given there is already a JSON document on the wikis. In addition to helping with discoverability, it would also simplify the code in
AbuseFilter

This seems Tech-News worthy.
To
User-notice
: This adds a link to the blocked external domains editor to
Special:CommunityConfiguration
. This can be tested via beta (
see example
), and will be deployed within the wmf.15 train. Functionally-wise, blocked external domains should work as before, just under the arms of CommunityConfiguration. In the future, this should allow us to simplify AbuseFilter's code (as previously, it needed to know how to load the list from a wiki page), but that benefit is in the far distant future, and might not be worth mentioning.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the suggestion and draft! A few suggestions/questions:
(1) Content: Is this rewrite accurate and good, or tweakable to something good?
Administrators can now access the
Special:BlockedExternalDomains
page from the
Special:CommunityConfiguration
list page. This makes it easier to find.
Are there any other technical aspects/changes that need to be mentioned? -- I.e. I'm uncertain whether we
need
to mention anything about "
Functionally-wise, blocked external domains should work as before
" -- from a glance comparison (of Beta Cluster versus MediaWikiwiki), it seems like the features are identical from a user-perspective.
(2) Timing: As this is not crucial for editors to learn ahead-of-time, I suggest postponing this entry until the following week's edition, so that the feature-update will be immediately available to everyone on the Monday/Tuesday that Tech News is published. -- However, if you would prefer it to be included in this next edition, we can do so, and I'd just tweak the entry to start with "Later this week, ....".

Yes, the testing showed that the functionality is identical.

The deploy tag is
wmf.15
- so, it'd be out this week. I have couple of really minor notes on UX, I'm moving the task to Blocked/Needs Work (and pinging
@Urbanecm_WMF
) for visibility.
(really minor issues) tested on
enwiki beta
(1) The form
doesn't inform a user that editing is available only for admins, like other forms do:
Special:CommunityConfiguration/BlockedDomain
Special:CommunityConfiguration/Babel
(2) there is no confirmation upon saving, like on other forms, below is the confirmation for saving on :
(3) other forms display
Editing
in the title for admins:

I saw the new page on frwiki, but it does not work for me.
When I click on "View form", the page is just reloaded and nothing happens. I can still edit MediaWiki:BlockedExternalDomains.json manually without issue.

Thanks! I'm checking now whether or not the form works for Interface admin. If a user is able to edit MediaWiki:BlockedExternalDomains.json, then, logically, the Special:CommunityConfiguration/BlockedDomain form should be editable.

Thanks! I'm checking now whether or not the form works for Interface admin. If a user is able to edit MediaWiki:BlockedExternalDomains.json, then, logically, the Special:CommunityConfiguration/BlockedDomain form should be editable.
Looking at the history of MediaWiki:BlockedExternalDomains.json, it seems that no edit made by an interface admin has a formatted diff comment, so it was probably already the case that only admins can use the form, although interface admins can edit the list manually.

- thanks for verifying it. According to
both
interface-admin
and
sysops
should be able to edit forms on Special:CommunityConfiguration and MediaWiki json pages. It seems that the issue needs more investigation.

The issue has been confirmed -if a user has only
interface-admin
rights, such users cannot edit Special:CommunityConfiguration/BlockedDomain.
Other forms, e.g. Special:CommunityConfiguration/GrowthSuggestedEdits, can be edited by
interface-admin
, as expected.

I’m not sure if it’s caused by these changes, but the timing is suspicious: please take a look at
– the page turned from a JSON array into a JSON object. This made this particular edit much larger than necessary, and it’ll make any future deletions also much larger than necessary, since all domains following the deleted one will get renumbered. Can someone please fix it so that the page is again a JSON array?
Edit: I tested it locally, and as soon as I disable the CommunityConfiguration extension (and thus edit the page on
Special:BlockedExternalDomains
instead of
Special:CommunityConfiguration/BlockedDomain
), the special page starts to write arrays, and I cannot even save the page with the object version (if I try to edit the page directly). So it’s definitely caused by the CommunityConfiguration integration.

Thank you all for the reports. I'll investigate this issue and fix it as soon as possible. For some reason, this was completely missed during development.

Let's resolve this. I've created a bug report as
T406145: Special:CommunityConfiguration/BlockedDomain stores objects instead of arrays
, which will be easier to understand when verifying the fix.
