- NDS (filter log) (user filter log)
- Description
- I was reorganizing NDS into sections, as the disambig page is currently not sectioned nor is it alphasorted. Obviously there is no lead section on a disambig page, the entire page is not an intro section

- Done and a change to the filter may be needed. The anon may he right that disambiguation pages should be excluded from this filter. Animal lover |666| 05:39, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

- Probably easiest to do this by checking for
{{Disambiguation
. Nobody (talk) 05:13, 22 August 2024 (UTC)- There are multiple disambiguation notice templates, and redirects to them. ie. {{letter–number combination disambiguation}} / {{numberdis}} / {{geodis}} / {{Dab}} / {{disambig}} / ... shown at Category:Disambiguation message boxes -- 64.229.88.34 (talk) 07:41, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- It may make the most sense, from the benefit/cost prospective, to list the more common ones and ignore the less common ones. Animal lover |666| 07:45, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- I think it's possible to search for hidden cats so looking for Category:All article disambiguation pages should work. Nobody (talk) 08:00, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not necessarily sure which path to take for this one, and I more find myself trying to figure out what amount of false positives results from this. A cat-search would be a fair enough compromise, though this will take time as I'm a bit busy at the moment, unless someone has code ready to go. EggRoll97 (talk) 15:51, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

I was just trying to add SUGGESTIONS for the page, and presumably word / phrase detection kicked in. Np.
Genuine suggestions, no malign intent.
BTW, It's not like the page subject matter isn't gruesome already, perhaps a less-sensitive degree of auto detection needs to be on, for pages where sensitivity to say, PERSONAL nouns / verbs, could be higher instead ;
I-will (kill),.. they-should (suffer),.. they-can-all-goto (hell) ... Etc
That might detect what you're trying to keep out.

- Talk:One Million Checkboxes (filter log) (user filter log)
- Description
- I tried to post this comment:
no mention of the rickroll ?
OMCB was rickrolled after the owner of the site eliminated the rate limit. Can we find any sources that mention this? He talks about it in the video on YouTube, which I tried to link but a filter blocked me from posting. It is titled "The secret inside One Million Checkboxes". And yes, I know YouTube is not considered a reliable source. Can we find a reliable source that talks about this, as I believe the rickroll to be significant, and should be included in the Wikipedia article here. Thanks.

- I see in the edit filter log that my comment on the talk page triggered the "Rickroll vandalism prevention" filter. The simple mention of the rickroll phenomenon (and wikilink to it) appears to have blocked me from being able to post a relevant comment. Thank you for looking into this. 72.14.126.22 (talk) 23:26, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

- I was just trying to revise the lyrics of the Korean national anthem to put in correct lyrics however this pop up deems it unconstructive even though that is false and I'm simply just trying to properly revise the lyrics of this wonderful song.
