I'm sorry that I got late to notice your comment.
I'll investigate the issue.

I'm afraid I can't reproduce your issue.

I want to know what's happening on your website, so please do following things:

1. Paste the following code to the top of stopforumspam2/action.php

    ini_set("display_errors", 1);
    error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);

2. Go to the edit page of your wiki, and you'll find the text beginning with "Fatal Error."
3. Send me the error text to me via email: [email protected]
4. After sending the error text, remove the code you added when doing "1."

Thanks for your quick reply!

At first I couldn't replicate the issue either, but after purging the page cache (?purge=true) and browser cache (ctrl-F5) it suddenly happened again.

Here is the requested output:

OK, I figure it out.
It seems that "Client URL Library" (cURL) is not available on your server.
This plugin uses the cURL to get information from the server of StopForumSpam, so please enable the cURL on your server in order to make use of my plugin.

sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl did the trick!
stopforumspam2 seems to be working now.

Thanks for your help! :)

That's fine!

Proposal for improvement: Do not just show a blank page when attempting to edit a page, but check for presence of the curl php-extension, and if it is not present, show an error message like "php7.0-curl not found, please install this extension to make this plugin work properly".

Thanks for your suggestion.
I'll do that.
