Reaper Eternal, an experienced filter editor on Wikipedia, was kind enough to help address this issue by consolidating all vandalism filters into a single filter, #460 - Feedback: Common Vandalism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/460 However, this consolidation created an other problem, because the amount of posts containing swear words was so high that this filter was automatically disabled as a safety measure (matching more than 5% of actions). So one possible solution for addressing this issue would be to separate out the swear words into separate filters, so that they would not exceed that limit. This is what filter editor Sole Soul did, by moving the 'new_size <5' condition to a separate filter, as shown in the filter notes below. "Merging from 461, 472, 473, 474, and 475. --Reaper 2012-08-17 Move the "new_size < 5" condition -one of the most matched conditions- to a separate filter (458). The aim is to make this filter match < 5% of actions. -Sole Soul" -- 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
