Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Priority|High |Highest --- Comment #4 from Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> 2012-11-07 18:46:41 UTC --- As we approach full deployment for AFT5, we would like to soften the warning message that is now displayed to users if their feedback is rejected by the abuse filter on AFT. Some team members have expressed concerns that it is a bit too harsh in its current form, and may be a turn-off for the very users we are seeking to engage. Others have also pointed out that it is often not clear why your feedback is being disallowed, suggesting that we give users a clue by citing the name of the filter which disallowed the post. To that end, we propose this kinder warning message, with the name of the filter in parenthesis: "Your post has been rejected by a software filter that suggests it may not meet Wikipedia's <feedback guidelines>. Please revise your post and try again. (Filter: Common vandalism 1)" Instead of: "Your post has been rejected by a software filter that suggests it may have violated Wikipedia's feedback guidelines. Please revise your post and try again." The reason we are advocating this gentler language is that sometimes legitimate words may be disallowed unfairly. For example, if someone writes the word like 'rape', it will be disallowed, even it is being used for legitimate reasons. When citing the filter name, we propose adding the word "Filter: " for clarity (replacing the text string "Feedback: " if it exists at the start of the title, to keep it short), if that's easy to do. We currently disallow several hundred posts per day with AFT5 at 10% -- so this message would appear a thousand times per day once we deploy to 100% on the English Wikipedia. This represents about 5-10% of total feedback posted per day. If you would like to see what kinds of words are being disallowed, we are tracking the 7 abuse filters that are now disabled on this Google spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiGAdIp7VYlbdDdKUm9naXhxOXVweWZ5YkU3Wk5lSlE#gid=0 -- 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
