Stop AI crawlers

Revision as of 00:44, 25 November 2025 by Admin (talk | contribs) (link to vedmaka's PR)

AI crawlers from all over the world have become a huge problem. They don't play by the (Robots.txt) rules, so it's even worse than old-school indexing by Bing, Google, and Yahoo which were bad enough.

In his 2025 MediaWiki User and Developer Workshop presentation[1] Jeffrey Wang mentions some approaches as inadequate:

  • Fail2ban
  • Nepenthes
  • Varnish and caching

So, what can we do?

Defenses before MediaWiki edit

  • WAF e.g. Cloudflare - the Content Distribution Network (CDN) company offers a Web Application Firewall (WAF) product[2] to stop network attacks. )
  • Filtering reverse proxies
  • Anubis - their README claims the solution to be over-zealous, but then offers default configurations that would appear to expressly allow the good guys like Internet Archive, bing and google[3].

Defenses in MediaWiki edit

  • Lockdown extension - most suitable for other purposes in the category of "User Rights". It is useful for disallowing anonymous reads of "heavy" pages. For example, you can block certain swaths of URLs in an entire namespace such as all Special pages - although you need to list each SpecialPage individually in your configuration (see example below). It is just not designed for complex filtering.
  • StopForumSpam - as the name suggests, suitable for preventing write access (not reads/views).
  • AbuseFilter extension- suitable for setting rules about content editing such as preventing links to specific domains, but not for traffic.
  • CrawlerProtection extension- by MyWikis' Jeffrey Wang. Currently has a PR by vedmaka that would enable a list of SpecialPages to deny anonymous access to.

Problematic pages in MediaWiki edit

  • SpecialPages
    • WhatLinksHere
    • RecentChangesLinked
  • History
  • Arbitrary Diffs
  • The 'ABCD' special pages
    • SMW
      • Ask
      • BrowseData
    • Cargo
      • CargoQuery
      • Drilldown

Discussion edit

Handling web crawlers provides details on various solutions, like how to use Lockdown to at least prevent anonymous reads on heavy pages.

Solution edit

We tracked this work in issue 156

Listing of all Special Pages on this wiki. We obtain the list by querying the API with curl -s "[YOURWIKI]api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=specialpagealiases&format=json" | jq -r '.query.specialpagealiases[].aliases[]' | sort

By querying your own API, you get SpecialPages that are added by the extensions unique to your wiki versus just MediaWiki core.

Items marked with ✅ are suggested to be allowed for anonymous users rather than blocked.
