Description:
There has been some interest in installing the SpamRegex extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SpamRegex) on en.wiki, where we have been recently hit by spammers and vandals using edit summaries and log entries to post links and irritating content. This extension, assuming it is usable, would aid us tremendously in combatting this (sometimes torrential) downpour of junk edits. Relevant discussion is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:An#Two_ways_to_help_prevent_Grawp-related_vandalism and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VPT#Extension:SpamRegex.
I expect that the 'spamregex' permission should be assigned to 'sysop'.
