Requested edit filters (WP:EF/R)

Malformed requests at WP:AFC/R

I'm not good at this, but something like this might work: 

format := "

*Target of redirect:\[\[.+\]\]\n
*Reason:.*\n
*Source (if applicable):.*\n
<references />\n

'''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 07:09, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

@CanonNi: This seems like a single-page issue, which is more of an WP:RFPP thing. Maybe pending changes protection to that page could help? EggRoll97 (talk) 18:58, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Yeah. That is a fair point, but we do have similar filters for WP:RFPP (filter 1291 (hist · log)) so this is not unheard of. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 21:55, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Good point. I've requested protection at RFPP. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 23:57, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Prevent self-promotion on Talk:Instagram

  • Task: A new filter could prevent the non-autoconfirmed from adding links to instagram[.]com to Talk:Instagram.
  • Reason: There has been a persistent problem with self-promotion on Talk:Instagram where users link their Instagram profiles or posts in an attempt to gain followers. This advertising is quickly reverted. Semi-protection has been applied as a countermeasure, though the protecting admin has admitted that this isn't ideal (see Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2024/06). I believe that this filter would be a better alternative than protecting a talk page.
  • Diffs: Examples of such promotion: [5] [6]

Air on White (talk) 00:21, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Support such a filter, with the result being Disallow. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 02:08, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Wait... isn't the talk page already semi-protected? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 02:10, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection recently expired; immediately after, the page started being bombarded with promotion. It was soon semi-protected again. I am requesting a filter because it is better than semi-protecting. Air on White (talk) 02:47, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Which is why I agree. Just saying. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 03:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
I took a superficial look of the last 50+ edits and I'm not convinced that self-promotion (adding links) is even 1/4th of the disruption, so I don't foresee the protection being removed even if this filter is made. – 2804:F14:80BE:B501:BC28:2F:9049:1F4D (talk) 07:16, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Also, in general, I would say that this is a too temporary (probably) and localized issue to warrant a whole new filter. Page protection (semi or pending changes) should be the way to work. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 18:20, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Yeah...I can't see a filter being much better at this than semi-protection. Probably going to be more of a  Not done for now. EggRoll97 (talk) 04:05, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Prevent addition of word "incel"

  • Task: Prevent non-autoconfirmed from adding the word "incel" to article space.
  • Reason: This word is mostly used for vandalism and particularly affects BLPs. It should be prohibited like the rest of zoomer/moomer slang used in vandalism.
  • Diffs: example

Air on White (talk) 21:21, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

I can see legitimate use for the word as something someone has called themselves, or for talking about such people. So this shouldn't be done without a whitelist. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 08:02, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Yes. There are literally hundreds of articles that use the word correctly, most of which are not BLPs. There's also a company and a drug called "Incel". Black Kite (talk) 08:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
At least add it. Filter 614 allows individual use of terms like "gyatt" and "rizz" but bans them in combination. Air on White (talk) 09:14, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
What about that at least add this to tag-only 189 (hist · log) for BLP articles? Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 18:23, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
How many times does a person add "incel" to a BLP to vandalize it? How many times in contrast does a living person actually describe themselves as an incel with RS to back it up? The ratio is too high for non-autoconfirmed to keep adding the term. We ban Blogspot, the Daily Mail and Breitbart for the same reason even though they have conceivable legitimate uses. Air on White (talk) 09:17, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Here's another catch: pages where the use of "incel" is legitimate are likely already semi-protected due to incel-related vandalism. Air on White (talk) 09:49, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
I would suggest that we test it out and refine the regex at 189 (hist · log) as Codename Noreste suggested, where we can see the FP rate and if this addition is really needed first. If it seems to be effective and useful, we can move it to a disallow filter. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 18:28, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Edit filter 803

Hi. Could the line !('/' in page_title) & be removed from 803 (hist · log)? I can't think of a scenario where a new user would need to edit someone else's subpage, and I've seen users vandalizing guestbooks and other subpages before. Thanks. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

If you only remove that line then new users editing their own subpage will be hit. Nobody (talk) 11:03, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Adding page_first_contributor != user_name could work for already created subpages. Nobody (talk) 11:23, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Yeah I think that will work too. (sorry I'm not that familiar with edit filters) '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 11:29, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
I don't have a solution for hitting subpage creations on other users yet. Can non-confirmed editors even do that? Nobody (talk) 11:31, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
I don't think so... I tried creating a subpage of my userpage logged out and it won't let me. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 11:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Then this change could be worthwile. Nobody (talk) 11:41, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Unregistered users can't create any pages in userspace, including their "own". Registered but not confirmed editors can create pages anywhere in userspace. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 21:00, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
@Suffusion of Yellow Do you think it would need a RfC if we wanted to block non-confirmed users from creating subpages for other users? Nobody (talk) 05:10, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
I'm asking since the edits tagged by Filter 733 (log) don't look that good. Nobody (talk) 05:15, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
It would still need some sort of wider discussion, though maybe not a giant RFC. I'm not convinced this is a good idea. This edit seems to be from a student editor who is (according to their userpage) participating in some sort of translation project. Again, if users want to collaborate on a draft, does it really matter where they put it? Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:14, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
I've been keeping an eye on Filter 733 and I don't think that the one translating clatt that User:OberMegaTrans is running is a good enough reason for not changing it to disallow. But I agree that the change to 803 would need a bigger discussion. Nobody (talk) 05:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
This is simple enough technically, but 803 was only enabled after an RFC which specifically excluded supages. An obvious use-case is collaborating on a draft. If you want to start a second RFC, let me know, and I'll create a log-only filter tracking subpage edits so people don't have to speculate. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 20:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Prevent non-autoconfirmed creating IP userpages

  • Task: Non-autoconfirmed users and IPs should not be able to create userpages that are not of their own IP.
  • Reason: I discover and nominate at least one such page every week. Most seem to be created in error, and users should be warned to create pages at the right title. A disproportionate number of such pages, however, are spam or vandalism. There is also an LTA who persistently creates userpages for IPv4s starting with "85."
  • Diffs: User:154.115.222.191/sandbox created by a registered user to post a biography. User:154.115.231.75/Sample page, User:177.223.175.103, etc. are similar.

Air on White (talk) 00:14, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Did you ask about this anywhere else? This suggestion seems very familiar. – 2804:F14:8086:B701:80CC:FCD6:43E3:855B (talk) 03:01, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
I asked in WP:VPT, but the discussion never picked up. Air on White (talk) 03:03, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
I was remembering this Teahouse question, actually. Anyways, I have no other comment, but the edit notice may be relevant for your suggestion. – 2804:F1...E3:855B (talk) 03:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
I misremembered then. There were three types of arguments against such a filter: The first fundamentally misunderstands either the problem or the proposal. The second straw mans or slippery slopes my argument as a ban on IP editing. The third is a fallacious sentiment that too much effort would be needed for this. It would only save editor time if I didn't have to deal with these bullshit userpages in the first place - how hard is it to just add the filter and the necessary warning to not create sandboxes for random IPs that aren't your own? Air on White (talk) 03:15, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Mind you, IPs already can't create pages except in various talk namespaces, so IP's can't create their own user pages, would make a filter even simpler.
Also I wasn't making any sort of point, I just remembered it - do read the edit notice before discussing the LTA part of this suggestion in any detail though (if it's even significant enough to be relevant).

Modify filter 1076

I propose that 1076 (hist · log), with a filter's description of "Draftified article more than 180 days old", be modified from a threshold of 180 days to 90 days. The notes in the filter say the following:

  • 2020/09/20 - changed from 90 to 120 days - NPP often takes longer than 90 days (bv)
  • 2021/12/10 - change to 180 days (bv)

Since these changes where the filter moved from 90 to 180 days, there has been a RfC on the matter of draftifications and how long after creation is appropriate. It was closed March 24, 2022, and the result was that pages over 90 days should not generally be draftified. As such, it makes sense for the filter to reflect this. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:49, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

I second this as well. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 22:10, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Drmies wants a filter

  • Task: Drmies left a note at WP:AN linking to Special:Contributions/Learoy4, all of whose edits had the same summary, all of which have been revdelled as Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material. Example, if you're an admin and able to see the revdelled content
  • Reason: Based on the AN request, I suspect that this summary is being used by other accounts or IPs. Drmies blocked Learoy4 for vandalism, so we won't see further problems from this account.
  • Diffs: Every edit by Learoy4 has the same summary, so preventing further edits by other accounts or IPs should be trivial. If the wording is changed a little, well, you're the filter maintainers and I'm not; maybe you could find a way to make things better.

Nyttend (talk) 12:54, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

@Nyttend, @Drmies: see the comments for Special:AbuseFilter/1314. —Ingenuity (t • c) 14:57, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Nyttend, you can check Smalljim's log--I blocked a few but they blocked more. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 15:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Yup. Dozens of them. It's some known LTA case, but I don't care which. I'll keep playing whack-a-vandal while I can. Keep an eye on 1314.  —Smalljim  16:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Maybe, just maybe, there's a tiny chance if we can set to disallow or add the summary regex to 52 and disable 1314, but further discussions should not happen here. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 04:01, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Just curious, is there any page where discussion can happen securely (something requiring admin or filter-editor rights just to view) without relying on the email address provided in the edit notice? I've looked at filter 1314's notes, and I can see people saying "To explain why..." and "Is this so-and-so" (as Ingenuity recommends), but nowhere that's being used for discussion. Nyttend (talk) 10:03, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Nope. I've proposed a private wiki for facilitating this kind of discussion before but it did not get much traction. The current canonical venue is always the mailing list. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 10:53, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

{{AfC submission}}

  • Task: Prevent the removal of past AfC decline and rejections.
  • Reason: They're not supposed to be removed by non-reviewers. (There's a invisible comment that says <!-- Important, do not remove this line before article has been created. --> beside the templates)
  • Diffs: A lot.

I've tested possible code for this filter on Test Wiki (see here), and it seems to work well. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 13:12, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Looks good, except you forgot exempting new page reviewers in the test wiki code, so maybe make it something like !contains_any(user_groups, 'extendedconfirmed', 'sysop', 'bot', 'patrol')? – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 01:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Ultimately it doesn't particularly have much effect, since I can't really think of any patroller who isn't extendedconfirmed already. The only ones who would be are bots, who already operate with a bot flag. EggRoll97 (talk) 03:02, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
True. I didn't think of that, but one might keep it there just to be safe? – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 01:52, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
This probably needs wider discussion. I'd support it, but I suspect the anti-draftspace people would object. At a minimum, should probably make a post at WT:AFC. –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Good idea. I've posted a {{please see}} there. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 03:43, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
meh. There are two situations where the AFC submission tags are being removed. In the first case, the draft-writer is attempting to hide past declines and/or unaware that they shouldn't replace declines with a new submit tag. In the second case, someone (and it could even be the draft creator) is moving the draft to the article space, which meets the before article has been created clause of the hidden comment. Can the filter tell the difference between these two cases? If not, then I do not think it will be a helpful filter (unless it is log-only). Primefac (talk) 13:19, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
I think it can. The !added_lines irlike '#redirect' line is used to not catch drafts that were turned into redirects (likely from a page move). '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 13:26, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
I suppose my concern is if someone wants to clean up the draft before they move it to the article space, it will flag it as a violation, no? Primefac (talk) 14:57, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Hmm... that's a good point. Maybe the template can say something like "Only remove this template if the draft has been moved into mainspace."? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 02:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Setting the filter to warn rather than disallow as you propose sounds like a good compromise. –Novem Linguae (talk) 03:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
I can see that a draft is OVERWRITTEN by a different draft. That could cause an issue here. There is no collision detection at Article Wizard, so if you select an existing draft article name, and create a new draft, that will delete any rejection notices with a fresh draft. I've seen different users create new drafts overwriting one another. -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 07:08, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
I expect that trapping conversion to redirect would help with if someone merges a nonnotable-rejection into a broader topic draft that could be notable. the Merge-and-Redirect activity would capture the edit history as a redirect's contribution history. ? -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 07:08, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Support Apart from the correct housekeeping removal on acceptance, ideally but not always done by the AFCH script, I see only two reasons an editor, not necessarily the creating editor, will remove the material:
  1. With goodwill, thinking this is correct despite the hidden comment
  2. To conceal prior review history.
I see this proposal as a benefit provided the exception cases are sorted out. I have no objection to offering a warning, though would prefer outright prohibition. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:58, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

COI filter

  • Task: Prevent edits common COI edit summaries
  • Reason: Reduce the workload of patrollers, help out new users who may be unfamiliar with Wikipedia's policies.
  • Diffs: Don't have any on hand right now, but generally use phrases like "I am/We are ______ and am/are updating the article...", etc.

Rusty talk contribs 23:21, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

That wouldn't be in keeping with policy. COI edits are discouraged, but not outright forbidden. We certainly should not be preventing COI editors from removing obvious BLP violations, vandalism, etc. Spicy (talk) 13:31, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Would you also object to a warn-only filter? This would certainly be in line with "discouraged, but not outright forbidden". Animal lover |666| 12:33, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Warn about a Wikipedia mirror

Ed-Tech Press, also known as "Scientific E-Resources, is a Wikipedia mirror. They print copies of books that are just Wikipedia articles. Per WP:CIRCULAR, we should never cite them in articles. Unfortunately, these books are listed in Google Books, and there's no obvious warning on them. I've inadvertently cited them twice recently. While I really appreciate reversions like this one, it seems like this is an area where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Could we please have an abuse filter set up for this string:

|publisher=Scientific e-Resources

which should catch most {{cite book}} uses? If it would be great if it could produce a warning message like "Ed-Tech Press and Scientific E-Resources are Wikipedia mirrors. They are not reliable sources and should not be cited in articles per WP:CIRCULAR." I think that the 'warn' setting should be sufficient. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:42, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you making this request - this publisher is just the worst. There is deliberately no attempt to identify the nature of the copied materials; it's just a straight up scam. There are three things I usually search for: "Ed-Tech Press", "Scientific e-Resources" (which is typically displayed when a google books link is resolved in a template), and the URL of "edtechpress.co.uk". I do agree with the warning being sufficient as I don't recall this ever being used on-wiki by a bad-faith actor. Sam Kuru (talk) 02:35, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

However, given my familiarity with you and your work, I'm going to make an exception with the caveat that, at the end of your trial, if you wish to re-apply, I expect there to be more participation in some AfD discussions. I'm not saying you need to camp out there, but it's tough to assess your competency in that realm if we have nothing to look at.  Done for a 3-month trial. Thank you for volunteering.

I want to reduce the massive backlog. I have been looking at the new pages patrol feed sporadically for the past two months and the backlog keeps increasing. I want to play a part in reviewing the articles. HRShami (talk) 11:19, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

User:CanonNi

Hi. I would like to request an extension of my temporary NPP rights. Though I haven't been as active as I expected, I still reviewed some articles and participated in the May drive (thanks for the barnstar). I enjoyed the experience and would like to continue helping out whenever I can. Thanks for considering my request. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 08:14, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Anwegmann

I was given a two-moth extension about two months ago, and I wanted to apply now for full-time approval to be a new page reviewer. I have been active in AfDs, and, as suggested in my temporary approval last time, I have reviewed many more pages than the first two months of my reviewership. All of the AfDs I have created have spawned genuine discussion, and I have also approved several new pages that pass the standards of WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. I feel as though I have done enough to earn full-time approval, but I would appreciate any approval the admins are willing to give. I enjoy this work, and I enjoy helping clean up Wikipedia. Thank you for your consideration. Anwegmann (talk) 00:08, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

I am confident in my ability to review new articles and drafts, as evidenced by my global contributions and user rights.

I hereby tender my application for the distinguished role of Rollbacker, having accomplished a notable volume of contributions exceeding 500 edits and consistently demonstrated a steadfast commitment to maintaining the highest standards of content quality through the diligent reversion of vandalized pages. I am confident that my expertise and unwavering dedication render me an exemplary candidate for this position, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to further serve the community in this capacity. 2RDD (talk) 10:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

In your own words, would you please explain what vandalism is? Using that explanation, please evaluate whether the following edits are vandalism, and provide an explanation as to why or why not:

User:Ben Azura

I requested Rollback several months ago and my request was was turned down because I didn't have enough anti-vandalism in my recent editing history. I haven't been very consistently active for personal and family reasons so I don't remember the exact course of events after that. After I was turned down I tried filtering the recent changes feed based on suggestions I saw here. This is the latest example of why that hasn't been working for me:

[9]

The vandalism was done in multiple edits and part of it survived my revert [10].

I had figured out a way to warn users after my previous request was turned down but after a few months away I don't remember how I was doing it. I wasn't able to find a way to easily warn the user whose username is not clickable the way it usually is when edits are reverted.

I am not planning to use rollback for anything other than reverting vandalism. Is this process really necessary to get the Rollback privilege? Ben Azura (talk) 13:22, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. You've only made a small handful of reverts since I declined your previous request. That's not enough activity for me to assess whether you'll be able to use this tool properly. That being said, youdon't need rollback to undo inappropriate edits. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 09:20, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Hey Fastily, it's your call man. I will use the recent changes feed as you have asked me to. What I wanted was to undo "consecutive previous edits" (from WP:ROLLBACK) like the situation I encountered that led to this request.
I am only interested in the tool because I think it is the right tool to help with the situation I encountered while patrolling RecentChanges.
Can you direct me to all the policies I need to familiarize myself with? What if I only get the most recent edit but miss the "consecutive previous edits"? I don't want to be blamed for that. By requesting Rollback have I fulfilled my end of responsibility in terms of what I can control? And, is warning editors a must? I don't want too many demands on my time (limited these days). But I still want to revert vandalism that I see. Let me know how you think it is best to proceed, please ping me with advice. Ben Azura (talk) 19:54, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
We already have Wikipedia:Twinkle which does exactly what you're asking for. You don't need rollback to use Twinkle. There isn't a specific policy I can point you to, and frankly, that's not the right question to ask anyways. There are no shortcuts here; if you want rollback, you need to put in the work, get experience patrolling recent changes, and prove to us that you're ready for it. -Fastily 09:24, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
