Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected], | |[email protected] Summary|Abuse filter for very short |Abuse filter: Increase 5% |posts |limit to allow filtering | |for very short posts --- Comment #2 from Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> 2012-10-22 21:29:13 UTC --- Hi Andre, I believe we will need to make a modification to the Abuse filter extension to increase the cutoff for disabling articles to a higher value than 5% -- possibly up to 10%. Right now, filter 458 only disallows posts with 2 characters or less, because it gets automatically disabled if we try 3, 4 or 5 characters. We really want to disallow posts with 5 characters or less ASAP, and ultimately even 10 characters or less. One way to accomplish that is to increase the value for disabling articles. To quote extension creator Andrew Garrett: "The AbuseFilter has a special mechanism for new filters in which filters that match more than X% of the actions that they are compared against are disabled. It is presumed that any filter that matches more than X% of actions is out of control. The current value of X is 5. In order to determine whether a filter matching more than X% of actions is actually out of control or just unlucky, we need a decent sample size. So the minimum sample size is Y, the variable that we changed from 2 to 25." The goal would be to have a higher cut-off for feedback than for edits -- so we don't disrupt the current cutoff used for edits, only increase the cutoff for feedback posts … We are now waiting for Andrew Garrett and Matthias Mullie to offer a recommendation on that point, as well as assess the complexity of this proposed revision. If we're only talking about a couple hours of development, I think we should do it, so we don't have to keep resetting the filters manually. I suspect that we will need a higher limit anyway before we can deploy AFT5 to 100%. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
