editFlag edits with particular edit summaries
editWe have an IP user who uses IP hopping to carry out low-level vandalism because he (yes, it's a bloke; blocked as a sock) does not agree with the outcomes of an RfC that we had in 2019. The edit summary used is always the same. I shall not write here what the kind of vandalism is as I don't want to draw attention to it. My question is: what are the options for triggering an alert / add an edit to a maintenance category / or something else that I haven't thought of, when a particular edit summary is used?

- Edit filters can be used to detect this. They can then tag, or block saving the edit, or just log it. https://sigma.toolforge.org/summary.py?name= can find summaries by user, but no use for IP hoppers. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:49, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
- Awesome. Thanks! Schwede66 01:36, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
