FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Wiki2Ban
Wiki2Ban, W2B in short, is a MediaWiki extension to generate log of failed authentication that can be fed into Fail2Ban to block relevant IP addresses.
This extension is inspired by Extension Fail2Banlog, but this extension is unmantained and built for an old MediaWiki version.
So this was written from scratch by written by Luca Mauri originally for use in Wikitrek: it is released as open source here in case it can be useful to anybody else.
