- Comment: There's nothing in the filter log for the Forest of Avon Trust page or under your IP address. I don't think any edits got caught in a filter; it must have been something else that prevented your edit. Maybe it the spam blacklist? I'm not very familiar with that, and I'm not sure if edits that are prevented due to that are logged anywhere. Either way, I would suggest you read this page if you are the Trust's Executive Director, as it contains info about what to do if you have a conflict of interest.

- Clinical pathology (filter log)
- Description
- I was trying to add an image for the discipline of histopathology since this subdiscipline is essential to clinical pathology. I was prevented from sending the edit on multiple tries. [As an aside: It took me several minutes of googling to find this report page. It was not linked to me on the edit blocked error message which told me to message an admin. Very user unfriendly and probably annoying for admins to get messaged about this instead of linking people here. Overall a frustrating experience when I am just trying to improve an article.]

- Sternenmeer I've made the edit with apologies for the inconvenience - the message you should have seen is MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed, which links to this page; I just tested things with an alt account and that is indeed the message I received. If you didn't see that message, please let me know. Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:50, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. The error message I saw was a German translation of that message, probably because I have set the UI to German in my preferences. It did suggest to message an admin and also told me the edit filter that was triggered (Image vandalism II). Iirc it was also formulated somewhat differently, a bit longer and did not include the last sentence. It appears that German translation is of an earlier version of that error message and not up to date? Sternenmeer (talk) 09:47, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

- (edit conflict) Confirmed on testwiki at least, filters set to the generic Mediawiki:Abusefilter-disallowed will show the default system message (such as the one Username Needed linked above), not our local copy, while those with custom messages seem to show our version. Not sure if there is way for us to override that. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 17:43, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- One could override MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed/de but yeah, I think the system messages need to be fixed (would need a phab task). Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:26, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Galobtter: Fixed how? Other wikis won't want to a link back to our WP:EF/FP. It's really a bad design to be considering these system messages in the first place. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 18:30, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- I think it would be possible to have a system message for each wiki that specifies where the relevant noticeboard would be, and would automatically fill in the translated messages. Or as a hack we could set all the abusefilters to use a copy, say MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed2 (but I think there are certainly better ways of making the same message always show). Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:36, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Galobtter: Still, that wouldn't adapt to the local culture of each wiki. Say, one wiki thinks that mentioning blocking up front is too BITEy and wants to leave that part out, while the other wants to put it in foot-high blinking red text. It's not always going to be matter of literal translation. As hacky as the disallowed2 idea is, if there is no other way to force a message to display in the local content language (I've been looking and found nothing yet), it may be the best way.

- @Galobtter: Okay, it's time to talk about 384 (hist · log). Right now, we are using the same regex for both edit summaries and article content. That doesn't make sense. The match on
added_lines
should probably stay as\blol\b
. But for the match onsummary
perhaps^lol$
(or something) might be a better fit. Or maybe it should be left out entirely. But with everything crammed together into the same log, it's hard to tease apart. Do you think maybe we should have a separate filter for edit summaries, so the regexes can evolve as needed? 384 is currently doing the work of maybe ten Hugglers, so I think we can spare a few extra conditions. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:47, 10 February 2019 (UTC)- Suffusion of Yellow, I've removed the summary check from 384; yeah, I've been thinking about separating the edit summary filter on 384 too (which was only added relatively recently), due to false positives (it's actually been in my notes to do for some time). A separate edit summary filter would also allow adding some stuff from other filters too, and edits with edit_delta > 250 should also be checked. I'm not sure if I have the time right now to create and test etc the summary filter - but on that note, see your talk page :) Galobtter (pingó mió) 08:28, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

- @Oshwah: Its your private filter --DannyS712 (talk) 01:06, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- DannyS712 - The edit filter I built and maintain (#51) only logs actions and edits that meet a condition set in the code. It does not disallow, warn, throttle, or intervene with the edit from being published, or the action from being executed in any way. If this false positives report was created following edits or actions that were not applied or carried out, it was not my filter that caused the issue. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:44, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Oshwah: I pinged you because the description of the filter ("LTA Username / LTA IP hopping disruption") implies that there is more to the story than just triggering the edit filter. Since the edits that are claimed to be false positives all also triggered your filter, I wanted to make sure I didn't make an edit that was prima facie a false positive, but really wasn't. --DannyS712 (talk) 01:47, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- DannyS712 - I can confirm that my edit filter worked exactly as it should have. Given the very uncivil tone and nature of the edits being attempted (leaving a message on someone's user talk page), the viewpoint this user expressed in their comment, and the words they used - I would expect that they would trip someone's edit filter and be disallowed. This is exactly what happened, and these were not false positive edit filter trips. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:54, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- In fact... looking at their edits and with the blocked actions that were logged, I've blocked this account per WP:NOTHERE. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:00, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Oshwah: Then you may also want to block User:92.8.127.230, which I suspect, based on a behavioural analysis, is the user's ip. --DannyS712 (talk) 02:03, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- DannyS712 - The IP user hasn't edited since January 27. The autoblock option that I set when I applied the block to the Hetman Kantoński will take care of that anyways; it'll disallow this user from using their IP address to edit, and will block any subsequent account that tries to edit from that IP address. Unless disruption and abuse starts appearing that are obviously from this user and are occurring right now, there's no need to block any stale suspected IP users that might be related to this account. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:11, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

- Not done Inbred was used as an example of something that is both factual and pejorative, and it clearly is an example of both (literally: "the production of offspring from the mating or breeding of individuals or organisms that are closely related genetically." -> a factual claim), while I don't think nigger is objectively a factual claim
