Forum:How to warn user before blanking pages?

Because somebody may think blanking pages is the same as deleting pages, so I wanna to change the messages and force preview before blanking. How can I do that?--疾風綾希 19:57, January 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * When someone click edit on a page, it show the edit page.
 * When someone remove all content from the edit area, there's no way the software could know it's time to deactivate the submit button.
 * On Wikipedia (maybe not the english one but the french one), all anon edit must be previewed before the submit button activate. — TulipVorlax 21:14, January 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Something like this could be done with the Abuse Filter extension. - Adan Aileron (talk) 18:45, January 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, that thing will be great. — TulipVorlax 19:36, January 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ya, but due to Wikia's CategorySelect the AbuseFilter won't activate when most people "blank" pages, as they are still leaving the categories on the page (which is some text) due to the CategorySelect not showing the categories in the edit source. Joey (talk) 21:35, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can use it to warn of large removals, however. For example, you can make an Abuse filter that would trigger when new_size < 50 & old_size > 500. Grunny  ( Talk ) 22:04, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * But...Do I need to contact the staff to enable this extension? or are there any extensions could be available for wikia?--HayateYuki 16:51, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ya, you have to email Wikia at via Special:Contact from the wiki you want it at and request it. Only a handful of wikis have it at this time. I wouldn't think there are many alternatives to this at this time, especially as this one is currently in us over Wikia. Joey (talk) 00:18, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * But the Wikia staff said that Abusefilter was not available at this time--HayateYuki 23:02, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
