--- Comment #3 from Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> 2012-07-24 16:30:16 UTC --- My apologies for causing a problem with the abuse filters, as reported on Village Pump [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#WP:Article_Feedback_Tool.2FVersion_5] and on my talk page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Fabrice_Florin#Edit_filter_changes]. My intention had been to modify four abuse filters we use for the Article Feedback tool, by having them 'disallow' the use of obscenities, rather than just 'auto-flag' them as abuse. While I was at it, I attempted to remove any word that was not clearly an obscenity, which is what caused the error on [[Special:AbuseFilter/474|filter 474]]. Many thanks to [[User:Someguy1221|Someguy1221]] for reverting that change, I really appreciate it! (And thanks to [[User:This, that and the other|This, that]] for explaining this was due to a '/b' character in the script. I just checked the other three filters (460, 461 and 472), and get a "No syntax errors detected" message, so they appear to be working as intended. Still, it would be wonderful if an experienced filter editor could take a look at these three filters, to see if we could improve them in any way (see our [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37615 Bugzilla ticket] for this issue). Our community liaison, [[User:Okeyes (WMF)|Okeyes (WMF)]], will reach out to filter editors in coming days to invite them to help create more abuse filters for [[WP:AFT5|Article Feedback Version 5]] (AFT5). This new feature is now being deployed widely on the English Encyclopedia, to invite readers to contribute productively on Wikipedia, and we could really use some help to filter inappropriate words. Again, I am very sorry for making this mistake, and deeply grateful to you all for reporting it and taking immediate action. Going forward, I will let experienced editors make changes to the edit filter scripts. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
