Go into the php configuration directory:

 cd /home/wikipedia/common/wmf-deployment

Add the extensions tables to the project:

 php maintenance/sql.php --wiki=dbname extensions/AbuseFilter/abusefilter.tables.sql

Add the wiki to the 'wmgUseAbuseFilter' array in InitiliseSettings.php.

/home/wikipedia/common/wmf-deployment/wmf-settings/InitiliseSettings.php

If needed, customize the settings for the extension in abusefilter.php.

/home/wikipedia/common/wmf-deployment/wmf-settings/abusefilter.php
If they want settings other than the defaults listed in the same file, you will need to enter them.

Update the configuration site-wide:

 sync-common-all

Alternatively, you can sync the InitiliseSettings.php and abusefilter.php files individually via sync-file if you so choose.

Important

Never assign the group 'abusefilter-private' to any usergroup. It is DEV ONLY.
