Nobody (talk) 07:11, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]; Checking with the edit filter managers to see if changes need to be made. Ohnoitsjamie, perhaps you should adjust or remove line 9 for now since 1202 does a somewhat better job of catching one of the LTAs in question? Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 17:48, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]; Fixed I removed the segment that triggered this false positive. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:03, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Consider requesting on the article's talk page; please provide the necessary references. This is clearly a false positive for the filter, but which expansions should be listed on the page should probably be discussed. And you got some of these wrong.

Not done – The filter is working properly. False positive, but I'm not going to make the edit on your behalf because you did not include a source. You would not be affected by this filter if you created an account; this particular one primarily targets an LTA that uses a wide variety of IPs.

(automated comment) — MajavahBot (talk · contributions) 17:03, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]; Not done – The filter is working properly. We filter mentions of the DPIFF, a non-notable film festival that is not the same as the notable Dadasaheb Phalke Award. Leave that out and your edit will be fine.
