Revision as of 17:00, 30 November 2016
This page is for people without the abusefilter-modify permission or people without sufficient knowledge about the coding involved to make requests to enact Abuse filters. Please add a new section at the top of current requests using the following format:
===Filter name=== *'''Task''': What is the filter supposed to do? To what pages and editors does it apply? *'''Reason''': Why is the filter needed. - ~~~~
Bear the following in mind:
- Filters are applied to all edits. Therefore, problematic changes that apply to a single page are likely not suitable for an abuse filter.
- Each filter takes time to run, making editing (and to some extent other things) slightly slower. The time is only a few milliseconds per filter, but with enough filters that adds up. When the system is near its limit, adding a new filter may require removing another filter in order to keep the system within its limits.
- There is a limit to what filters can check for. More complex, non-essential tasks, such as those that need to perform a more in-depth check of the page or fetch information that the filter system does not have access to, are better served by separate software, run by an individual user on their own machine or dedicated server such as Tool Labs, rather than those used to actually host Wikipedia.
- It used to be called the abuse filter for a reason. Contributors are not expected to have read all 200+ policies, guidelines and style pages. Trivial formatting mistakes and edits that at first glance look fine but go against some obscure style guideline or arbitration ruling are not suitable candidates for an abuse filter -- quite apart from performance concerns, if it doesn't harm the project, it is best not to hassle new contributors because of it.
- To prevent the creation of pages with certain names, MediaWiki:Titleblacklist is usually a better way to handle the problem - see MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist for details.
- To prevent the addition of problematic external links, please make your request at the spam blacklist.
Current requests
Aaron j christopher sock
- Task: An extremely active sock is repeatedly creating articles about himself. The pages range from regular articles to his current style of complex userpage-looking pages with the article text in an infobox. (See [1], [2], [3] for examples). Currently the text used is always the same, so an edit filter on some of the strings, song titles, imdb page, etc, set to disallow (eventually) would slow him down. His links indicate he's young so it shouldn't take much to make him lose interest.
- Reason: To stop a very active sock (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aaron j christopher 101/Archive) whose ip range appears to change such that a rangeblock won't work. See the histories of the ones I linked: he removes the CSD's using his current IP.
- CrowCaw 23:52, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Crow: Coincidentally, I drafted up some code for this for fun... I'll send the email to the mailing list. Dat GuyTalkContribs 14:55, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
No emoji's in edit summary
- Task: Disallow emoji's in edit summaries. Example, All summaries - all users
- Reason: Seems more disruptive and unnecesary than useful or needed.
- - Mlpearc (open channel) 01:01, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- This probably needs some community discussion, but I broadly support this sort of filter. To reduce the cost of such a filter, it should be restricted to editors who are either not autoconfirmed or perhaps not extendedconfirmed. ~ Rob13Talk 06:35, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, that would definitely need a community discussion, since this would amount to a ban on something that is not currently prohibited. Someguy1221 (talk) 08:21, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- Seconding a support of this sort of filter, and seconding requiring a discussion -- samtar talk or stalk 17:00, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
Bee Movie script
- Task: Disallows edits that add a significant portion of the script from the "Bee Movie". The script is quite long, so it may be better to check for just a few specific lines from the script instead.
- Reason: Adding or replacing content with the Bee Movie script (it's become a trend recently) is an irritating, but easy to detect form of vandalism. The edit filter should disallow the edit because it's not only simple vandalism, but requires a RevDel, as it's a copyright violation.
- Sunmist (talk) 21:59, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Linguist111 troll
- Task: Tags all usernames containing "guist111" or "guistOneOneOne".
- Reason: A troll has been persistently creating accounts with usernames that attack me, such as Idiotguist111, Cookguist111, Linguist111 Is dead forever!, LinguistOneOneOne and RatguistOneOneOne (see and sock categories). Alternatively, these strings could be blacklisted instead, but I don't know how to file a request for that.
- Linguist Moi? Moi. 19:39, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- Linguist111 As visible by my bot's reports ([4], [5]), it's already at Special:AbuseFilter/579. Dat GuyTalkContribs 15:50, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
The "Knot" that username filterer
- Task: Revers vandalism made on a userpage. it affects people who are not that username.
- Reason: To prevent the vandalism on userpages made by other people
- Brynda1231 [Talk Page] [Contribs] 05:09, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Brynda1231: Hi there, thanks for making a filter request. I'm having some trouble trying to understand what exactly it is you'd like the filter to do - to help us understand, could you give us a step by step of what the filter would do? For example:
- 1. Look for unconfirmed users editing userpages
- 2. Check if their username is "Example"
- 3. Log their edit
- -- samtar talk or stalk 09:36, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- 1. Looks for possible vandalism
- 2. Checks to make sure if it is not that username associated with the userpage after the "USER:" part.
- 3. If it is not the associated username, reverts it to the last non-vandalism version
- If the editor matches the title, don't revert, but highlight syntax errors. --Brynda1231 [Talk Page] [Contribs] 16:02, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Brynda1231: The edit filter is only really capable of catching very basic vandalism. Also, most obvious vandalism, including that on user pages, already gets reverted by Cluebot NG. Omni Flames (talk) 04:28, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Daryl Falcunitin
- Task: Tag all new users whose usernames contain the string "Falcunitin", perhaps also if they also contain the strings "Yaye", "Yays", or "Daryl".
- Reason: To detect sockpuppets of Yaysmay15, who has been an active vandal in Philippines topics and current event lists which are actively edited by IPs, thus semiprotection is undesirable. - Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:10, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
- Running on my test filter for the time being to assess what we're dealing with, then we can update Special:AbuseFilter/579 accordingly — MusikAnimal talk 17:45, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
This is not a talk page. Please add new requests at the top of this section, not here at the bottom. Thank you!
Completed requests
Suix/Woomoo/Dead rats
- Task: Tags all new users that have the words "th3", "woomoo", "dead rats" "rats dead" "xisu", "suix", "siux", "xius" and/or other similar strings to "suix" in their usernames, and tags the insertion of "woomoo", "dead rats" and "rats dead" into articles.
- Reason: A user, The Suix, has been abusing multiple vandalism/spam-only accounts, all with similar usernames (see sockpuppet category), and, among other things, replacing article content with an advertisement for a certain "Woomoo" company ([6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]...).
- Linguist Moi? Moi. 16:45, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Linguist111: Popped onto Special:AbuseFilter/773. I'm just checking the usernames at the moment, which will likely move to another filter username tagging filter if there's enough - do you have any more recent examples of the actual disruption? -- samtar talk or stalk 15:08, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Samtar: Will have a look for more. Linguist Moi? Moi. 15:44, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

- I had a few variations of "suix" in filter 102, but they were too easily circumvented. As an alternative, since almost all accounts created articles containing "WOOMOO INC.", a filter looking for some variation of
wo{2,}mo{2,} inc
, in articles created by new accounts might be more effective. N.B. I know very little regex, so I won't be attempting this myself. —DoRD (talk) 16:06, 19 November 2016 (UTC)- @DoRD: I was hoping to try to nail down some patterns to add to 102 :/ good idea for the actual disruption though - if we can't tag the accounts getting the actual abuse would be useful. @Linguist111: thank you for the examples, very helpful :) -- samtar talk or stalk 16:23, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- Actually if it's mainly article creations, an addition to the Title Blacklist may be more suitable here? -- samtar talk or stalk 16:29, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- TBL addition requested - I'll continue to log at 773 to see if we can add some patterns to 102 -- samtar talk or stalk 16:34, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, they were created under all sorts of titles, so I don't think that the TBL will work, either. Also, other pages were vandalized with the same content as in the diffs above. —DoRD (talk) 16:49, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) I think a filter for "Woomoo" in usernames and in articles would suffice for the most part. There have been a number of articles created by the user with "Woomoo" in the titles, some of which have been salted. Linguist Moi? Moi. 16:56, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Filter created That can be disallowed via the blacklist - disallowing a couple of phrases at 808 as its pretty clear they're going to stick around for a while -- samtar talk or stalk 18:25, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Samtar and DoRD: Have new strings been added to the filter? I tried to ask here if some new strings the vandal is using had been added but the filter disallowed it. I'm assuming it's because those strings have already been added? Linguist Moi? Moi. 20:24, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Linguist111: Fixed the false positive which prevented you making that edit - I have been updating the filter as they progress. #wikipedia-en-abuse-log connect is keeping an eye on it -- samtar talk or stalk 20:26, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Samtar: Can "Xoono" and "Rats!" be added if they haven't been already? Linguist Moi? Moi. 20:27, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- Waaaay ahead of you :) -- samtar talk or stalk 20:32, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Samtar: Thanks. Has the main string (can't write it because the filter will disallow me) been title-blacklisted? This sock just created two articles with the title. Linguist Moi? Moi. 21:23, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- Which main string Linguist111? You can now type things like XoonoStudio etc -- samtar talk or stalk 21:34, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Samtar: Thanks. I meant Woomoo. Linguist Moi? Moi. 21:36, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- Has "dead rats" been added to the username filter? User has been rapidly creating socks with this string recently (see sock investigation). Also, can edit summaries containing "dead rats" be disallowed? Linguist Moi? Moi. 15:01, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Edit summaries were being checked but I had removed that - will re-add. As for the username I've requested the addition -- samtar talk or stalk 09:44, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
poop
- Task: Should prevent IPs and vandals from inserting the word inside the template Infobox person, infobox school and in the lead section of the page. Rival school students target other school pages after some school level sports competition.
- Reason: I have reverted too much insertion of this word especially in BLPs of female popstars and female sportsperson, politicians, talk show hosts. Sometimes the insertion is mixed up with other words: For example "Mountain" will be changed to "Mountainpoop" or "Mountpoopain". And there is obvious name change.
- Marvellous Spider-Man 16:54, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Marvellous Spider-Man: Could you provide two or three diffs of this disruption to test against? I'll look to temporarily add it to 614 -- samtar talk or stalk 17:24, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Maybe this request won't work as sometimes they create variation as this and this. I went through my 200 huggle edits, and couldn't find the exact edits. I know I have seen many such edits. The edits are extremely vulgar, due to which other huggle users revert before me. I click revert to get the message, "There are some newer edits". As I clicked revert button in huggle window, I sometimes feel I reverted it, but the revert was already made by somebody else. --Marvellous Spider-Man 17:52, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- We do already have a dedicated poop blocking filter, Filter 46, so I expect the issue is only with poop as part of other words, poo, and other variations. -- zzuuzz (talk) 17:57, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Samtar: This time I didn't revert just to show the differences. see this. Marvellous Spider-Man 17:59, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Zzuuzz: I think expanding on that filter may be a good idea, I'm not 100% sure how
.*
's could be used in this filter (or if they even should be) - would welcome any suggestions -- samtar talk or stalk 18:15, 13 September 2016 (UTC)- Yes, it looks quite complicated to fit in, and without FPs. Perhaps Filter 189 (and 39) could be used? Just a sideways thought. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:24, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- If you plan on making any changes to the poop filter I highly recommend using a third-party tool such as debuggex so that you can create test cases, etc. Looking for words containg "poop" might work but I don't think you'll be able to get away with just "poo" (Winnie-the-poo, poodle, harpoon, pool, etc). This would work only under some circumstances such as
\bpoo poo\b
, or the like, but you still have Poo Poo Point, Poo poo platter (common misspelling), etc. Given the age of the poop filter I suspect it has undergone significant tweaking to be well-rounded while still being accurate — MusikAnimal talk 15:39, 22 September 2016 (UTC)- @Samtar and MusikAnimal: The existing filter should have blocked this edit. I'm not sure why it didn't. Kaldari (talk) 21:06, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
- The filter evidently looks for poop by itself or followed by a range of possibilities, which does not include "tastic" [14]. This seems like an edge case, but there are some more common things like POOPIE where the IE should be detected — MusikAnimal talk 21:15, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
- I'm also not convinced the backreferencing is working as expected — MusikAnimal talk 21:27, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
