Bug ID: 52062
Summary: AbuseFilter variable "new_wikitext" invalid for edits
made from the mobile version
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: AbuseFilter
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
For some edits (I am almost sure that it is only edits are made from the mobile
version, i.e. http://<lang_code>.m.wikipedia.org/), the abusefilter variable
"new_wikitext" contains only the text of the edited section, while
"old_wikitext" contains the full text of the article. As a consequence, there
are currently many false positives for filters that trigger on large deletions.
For exemple, the following entry in the log of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/30 ("Large deletion from
article by new editors") shows a huge deletion:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/9044770
However, there is no deletion in the actual diff (which is incorrectly tagged
with "Tag: blanking"):
