Description: I often want to make large-scale deletions to my talk page (delete the weekly Signpost, etc.) without logging in, because I'm on a forced wikibreak using Wikibreak enforcer. But every time I attempt to do so, this filter bars the edit from being made.

I realize this isn't exactly a "false positive", since the whole purpose of this filter is to prevent edits like this, which are almost always vandalism. But it would be nice if there were a way to "opt-out" my talk page from this filter. Since I've never ever been the subject of vandalism, I would be willing to take that risk into my own hands ...

Just a thought :)

Yeah, sorry, it would be theoretically possible to have an exemptions list, but it would run on every edit, and if even just a few people wanted to be added it would slow down the whole edit filter process. A bot would perhaps be a better idea than a filter for this type of thing. —Soap— 16:54, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm honestly not familiar with the practice of creating a page with just a single tag and no content. It doesn't seem very helpful to the readers to tease them like that. But, if that's what we're doing now, I can add {{delrev}} to the exemption list, which currently contains only a few speedy deletion templates. Thank you for reporting this. —Soap— 12:25, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh.. I wasn't aware that Filter 364 was actually "Changing the name in a BLP infobox", which is exactly what the IP editor did. But the output of the tag as seen in Recent Changes (and the article revision history) was "possible BLP issue or vandalism", and it wasn't vandalism nor a BLP issue, so that's why I reported it as a false positive. Shouldn't the RecentChanges text and the filter description text match? -- œ ^™ 06:06, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

No, because some filters' descriptions are too detailed. Not only that, but there's a separate entry on the edit filter management page to tag any edits tripped by the filter with a description, and if left blank it will not provide a tag. —Jeremy ^{(v^_^v Hyper Combo K.O.!)} 21:47, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

The filter prevented a move from 'Template:LGBT symbols' to 'Template:LGBTQ symbols' here is my reasoning for moving the template: The reason is because the 'Q' or Genderqueer has in the past decade created symbols to represent themselves. can someone fix this problem please.

there is a limit on the number of pagemoves that a "new" user can do in a certain amount of time, because pagemoves are often used for vandalism. Apologies for the inconvenience. If you wait you will be able to do the moves. —Soap— 00:55, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

This is a filter that sometimes appears when someone creates a page about a movie or movie studio or anything really to do with film. As far as I know, it only appears on "our" screen, because a lot of the time the new page creation is legitimate. Although you will still see it if you look at your "recent contributions" page. However, it was not the reason for the deletion of your page and there is nothing really I can do except suggest that the company might not be notable, and that if you're convinced that it is, read the guides on your talk page and make sure if you re-create the article that you show us plenty of examples of other people talking about your studio and not just links to Twitter, etc. —Soap— 12:09, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Im not sure if there's a policy on it or not, but this sounds like a commercial website. In any case, the only reason the edit filter tagged it is because you didn't do it correctly; you put in a redirect instead of a normal hyperlink. But, as I said, we don't normally link to publishers of books used as references in an article about something else. —Soap— 03:40, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Note that the references are spelled out where they're linked from, the References section at the bottom is just a copy of that.

Oddly, "penis" is on the stopword list, but "dick" isn't, perhaps because it's not case sensitive and therefore the name Dick and other legitimate uses of it would cause problems. I think there is nothing we can do but I'll paste the edit for you and hopefully this kind of problem won't come up much ... otherwise we'll have to start allowing edits consisting of just the word "penis" again. —Soap— 21:39, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Description: I was removing the word "spontaneously", as there is no data to support that claim, and it's possibly not true.

Also, I was cleaning up the "dropping the f-bomb" bit -- and quoting the word she actually said, which was "fucking". People not familiar with English idiom, at least, are not well served by the euphemism - nor are people in general. I left in the "f-bomb" link and stuck it in parentheses, as I think it's fine to have it there, mainly because the major media meme post-show has been using that expression.

All I see is a warning saying that a large edit should not be marked as "minor". A new page, by definition, is not a minor edit, so there should be no reason to mark it as one.

The "position absolute" has occasionally been used for vandalism. It is rare, but when it happens it's a big enough problem (since it can cover up the tabs, sidebar, etc. leaving no way for most people to figure out how to edit a page) that we need to have the filter on all the time. Sorry for the inconvenience. —Soap— 22:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Comments: The system is blocking the edits because the article as written includes long strings of all-caps text. ALL CAPS is a form of "shouting" in internet text, and our filters interpret such strings as vandalism. Do these magazines really put their article and review titles in all-caps? If you correct this, restoring the case of the article and review titles to the cases actually used, this block should cease. (I would advise you, also, to read WP:EL and perhaps WP:CITE in order to understand why external links in place of actual formatted references are considered a bad sign in a proposed article.) --Orange Mike | Talk 15:41, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Description: add the rest of rogert ebert's quote

When I think of the elegant construction of something like "Gunfight at the OK Corral," I want to rend the hair from my head and weep bitter tears of despair. Generations of filmmakers devoted their lives to perfecting techniques that a director like Jonathan Liebesman is either ignorant of, or indifferent to. Yet he is given millions of dollars to produce this assault on the attention span of a generation.

Young men: If you attend this crap with friends who admire it, tactfully inform them they are idiots. Young women: If your date likes this movie, tell him you've been thinking it over, and you think you should consider spending some time apart.

Description: This is really annoying; attempting to just remove that section (or part of it), without trying to add a ref/link like before, still gives a "Some material on Wikipedia should be removed, for example vandalism and false or libelous information. If this is what you're doing, and you believe your removal is correct, please go to the bottom of this page and press 'Save page' to continue", where trying to save the page just goes back to the same dialog. This seems like a bug to me.

Sorry for this problem; all I can really say is that it doesn't seem to happen very often, as I've never seen a report like this before. Perhaps there has been a recent change in the captcha system, but that isn't controlled by the editors the way the edit filter is. If this becomes common it is likely this filter will be deleted. —Soap— 20:34, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Only the first report (where I was trying to remove the section and add a link in the same edit) involved captchas. This report is that it was plain impossible to remove a block of text if the filter triggered. I found a way to prevent the filter from triggering but I think there is still a bug in the filter mechanism. I do have some unusual browser settings that could conceivably be interfering with the reconfirmation scheme so I might try reproducing the problem from another browser. 75.57.242.120 (talk) 19:33, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

The filter didn't block you when you were editing American bison (although your edits were unsourced and likely to be removed anyway). You were blocked from editing leatherback sea turtle because you twice tried to insert a sentence randomly into the middle of a footnote, thus breaking the references. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:32, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
