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)

- Adding
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)
- 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)
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.

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.

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.

{{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:
- With goodwill, thinking this is correct despite the hidden comment
- 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)
- Yeah. Possible filter code for catching this could be:
page_namespace == 0 & !contains_any(user_groups "bot", "sysop", "extendedconfirmed") & ( mirrors := "(?:\|publisher\s*\=\s*(?:(?:[Ss]cientific [Ee]\s?-\s?[Rr]esources)|(?:Ed\s?-\s?[Tt]ech [Pp]ress)))|(?:\|url\s*\=\s*edtechpress\.co\.uk)" added_lines irlike mirrors & !(removed_lines irlike mirrors) )
- I would create a log-only filter at first, and if it does well, ramp it up to warn. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 22:05, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for this. I understand that starting as a long-only filter is common, and I've no objection. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:20, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights Hi. I'm Bugnawfang. Lately, I have been editing on articles about some places in the Philippines. Recently, however, the Negros Island Region was created again after a law was signed by the president of the Philippines. Hence, there are 19 cities and 44 municipalities' pages that still have the old "Central Visayas (Region VII)" and "Western Visayas (Region VI)" region template tags. I am aware that my edits do not meet the threshold, but I do want to update these pages, and making edits one-by-one on these pages is tedious on its own. With this, I may request for the permission to use AWB to add the "Negros Island Region" template on these pages. Bugnawfang (talk) 13:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

I have been a long-time editor on this site for 7 years with lots of experience creating articles and participating in AfD discussions. I plan to use this permission to help clear the backlog and provide feedback to editors for their new articles, regardless of whether their article is notable or not.

I've had previous experience, had it on trial period for a month during the back-drive, and I feel like I can especially do more. Noorullah (talk) 11:14, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello there, I am interested tn helping out in new page reviewing as there are very large articles backlog and love to do so. Xegma(talk) 07:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Question, though I am not an administrator, I see that you have published accepted AFC submissions, even if they lack citations or are in need of some fixing. And some have orange banners on them. Why is this? — 48JCL 01:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request new page reviewer rights to help review newly-created articles and lower the backlog. I have accepted lots of drafts at AFC and participated in many AfDs with deep discussions to exhibit my knowledge of notability, as I was advised previously. Thanks! Waqar💬 19:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Good day. I am requesting to be granted the New Page Reviewer permission to assist with the growing new page backlog. I have created 8 new articles (although one was a complete rewrite that I then pushed through AfC) and meet the edit and age requirements for this permission. I also have demonstrated experience in the AfC process in both articles and redirects and have some experience in deletion related areas. I maintain rollback and pending change permissions, both of which I use regularly. I believe I can (and will) be of assistance in reducing the NPP backlog, if given the opportunity. Thank you.

I would like to help out reviewing edits before it is published as an live article. I do have good experience. I am aware that statements must be sourced, and I know what is considered nonsense.Cwater1 (talk) 18:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC) Cwater1 (talk) 18:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I'd just like an extra tool in my vandal fighting utility belt. Plus signing off on good edits would make me feel helpful. -- D'n'B-t -- 17:34, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I've been a rollbacker for some time now, and when I patrol the recent changes, it's not at all uncommon to come across pending revisions. Thus, I imagine that having the permission of a pending changes reviewer would help me in anti-vandalism activities and, even more, reduce the backlog and the work of other volunteers. Helping directly on Special:PendingChanges is also a possibility, of course. Thank you, RodRabelo7 (talk) 09:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Im requesting pending changes reviewer rights because I wish to review some changes made by inexperienced users, I’ll be fully active and really want to get this right. Madeforall1 (talk) 10:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm starting to review pages for copyvios, and, as a result, I'm starting to encounter reviewer-protected pages. (If the article on Rotten Tomatoes wasn't a backwards-copy, I might have been hosed.) In any case, I hope my experience across multiple Wikimedia projects demonstrates the competence needed for this permission. ⸺RandomStaplers 00:07, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Requesting rollback rights to be able to use different tools for reverting vandalism. I'm open to any questions or feedback on my editing and counter-vandalism actions. Cheers. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:34, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 06:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Fastily: hi there. It's true that I seldom warn IP users that don't edit on a regular basis. I just feel like no one is going to see that warning and it might be confusing for other users from that IP. This might be a mistake on my part and I'll gladly fix it. You'll see that, with registered users, I've warned them 100% of the time or very close to that. Thanks for your time. Rkieferbaum (talk) 10:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? -Fastily 10:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Fastily: of course, it's a promise. I do agree that welcoming newcomers is among the most important things we do here. Thanks. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Great, thanks for confirming. Could you please now go some RC patrol in which you demonstrate how you will be notifying all users? -Fastily 03:17, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Fastily: sure! I've been at it for a few minutes. I'll leave a warning each and every time from now on, IP or otherwise. Cheers and thanks for your input. Rkieferbaum (talk) 00:37, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

- I used to be highly active before 2022, and had rollback rights back then (was inactive for quite a while)
- I have a history of defending WP: Hinduism related articles, and further need to do it, especially after few recurring cases of vandalism by a series of sockpuppets
- It may seem that i am constantly reverting a particular user's edits but that user is a sockpuppet of Kairakairav, [see their huge list of sockpuppets] who removes well sourced info, blanks them and add original research stuff, most of which are also factually incorrect. The sockpuppets get blocked, but somehow returns with a new account (Not only me, but other users have also reported this issue in the user's earlier sockpuppet investigations). It is alo worthless to tell them to stop on talk page, as they never reply and keep doing the same stuff; recent example of Madri which was blanked by them!
- Its quite irritating for me to constantly go to history and copy paste entire full page, so the rollback right will be quite helpful, Thanks .245CMR.•👥📜 09:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC) .245CMR.•👥📜 09:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
