===(where the ... heard)=== |

I am trying to figure out how to stop the following trivial insertions which have been going on for more than a year, coming from a wide range of New York IPs. (See ANI thread [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Filter? Rangeblock? Synthesizer patch trivia LTA case from New York|Filter? Rangeblock?

Revision as of 16:49, 4 October 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
(where the ... heard)
I am trying to figure out how to stop the following trivial insertions which have been going on for more than a year, coming from a wide range of New York IPs. (See ANI thread Filter? Rangeblock? Synthesizer patch trivia LTA case from New York, at which an edit filter was suggested.) Examples:
- [1] (where the Asian-European Yamaha DX7 internal factory patches "Bass 1", "Vibe", "Tub Bells" and "Piano 2" were heard)
- [2] (where the Roland D-50 PN-D50-04 patch "Octave Synth Bass" and Roland TR-808 claps and low pitched Roland TR-808 cowbells were heard)
- [3] (where the real flutes were heard)
- [4] (where the Roland D-50 internal factory patch "Soundtrack" and PN-D50-01 patch "Pulse Pad" were heard)
- [5] (where the synth brass and Yamaha DX7 internal factory patches "Harmonica 1" and "Electric Bass 1" were heard)
- [6] (where the poly synth or Minimoog patch "Square and "Saw" and synth strings in 5ths were heard)
- [7] (where the flute and steel drums were heard)
- [8] (where the drums weren't featured or heard)
- [9] (where the synth strings were heard)
- [10] (that was released in 1980 and where the synth belly chiming piano, synth belly chimes or piano was/were heard)
- [11] (where the synth FX and synth were heard)
- [12] (where the synth snare drums were heard)
- [13] (where the synth strings were heard)
- [14] (where the Roland D-50 internal factory patch "Soundtrack" and PN-D50-01 patch "Pulse Pad" were heard)
- [15] (where the Roland D-50 custom patch "Synth Xylophone" and synth whitles were heard)
- [16] (where the synth strings and 12th Yamaha DX7 internal factory patch "Electic Bass 1" were heard)
- [17] (where the drums mixed with Roland Alpha Juno and Roland Alpha Juno patch "Jet" were heard)
- [18] (where the Roland Alpha Juno patch "Bell-Chimes 1" was heard)
- [19] (where the Roland JX-3P patch "Brass I" and Yamaha DX7 custom patch "Synth Brass" were heard)
- [20] (where the Roland JX-3P patches "Brass I" and "Brass II" and 5th Yamaha DX7 internal factory patch "Brass Horns (Brasshorns)" were heard)
- [21] (where the 17th Yamaha DX7 internal factory patch "Sax BC (Sax/Saxophone/Saxophone BC)" was heard)
- [22] (where the synth voices, synth vocals and guitars mixed with each other got heard)
- [23] (where the piano mixed with the 26th Asian-European Yamaha DX7 internal factory patch "Tub Bells", and Roland Alpha Juno patch "Jet", and drums mixed with the Roland Alpha Juno patch "Jet" got heard)
- [24] (where the synth strings and Hammond B3 organ with the vibrato were heard)
- [25] (where the Roland Alpha Juno patch "Bell Chimes 1" was heard)
- [26] (where the flute was heard)
- [27] (where the claps/synth claps were heard)
- [28] (that Madonna backup sang) (where the Roland Alpha Juno patch "Bell-Chimes 1" and saxophones were heard)
- [29] (where the synth bells, chimes and flutes were heard)
- [30] (where the Roland D-50 internal patches "Living Calliope", "Arco Strings", "Horn Section", and "Digital Native Dance", Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 patches "Sync I" and "Sync II" and Roland D-50 internal factory patches "Fantasia" and "Shamus Theme" were heard)
- [31] (where the brass and octave brass were heard)
- [32] (where the 41st Roland D-50 internal patch "Staccato Heaven" and 1st Roland D-50 internal patch "Fantasia" were heard)
So almost all of these clumsy insertions start with "(where the...", using open parentheses followed by those two words. All of them end with "...heard)", using close parentheses. Perhaps we can have a filter based on that fact. Binksternet (talk) 16:49, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
Rapper
- Task: See if someone adds 'rapper', and tag them. (but not with page creation). See [33]
- Reason: To stop Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Dog and rapper vandal. Also I believe that this wouldn't be that hard, and I trust that Samtar or any EFM could use the code from the Harambe filter (before it was hidden from public view, I could see some simple stuff). Dat GuyTalkContribs 15:08, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Dat GuyTalkContribs 15:08, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Added to Special:AbuseFilter/781 for the moment (log and tag), see how it goes -- samtar talk or stalk 15:37, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Seems the string 'rapper' is used a lot by non-confirmed for legitimate reasons.. I don't think this filter idea will work -- samtar talk or stalk 18:15, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- There is no way you're going to be able to look for simply "rapper" or "rapping" and expect to get anything useful. This is a common term that may show up in any music-related page or category. At the very least consider a word break as with
\brapper\b
so you don't get "wrapper", etc. The example diff also doesn't appear to be particularly problematic, at least to the extent to warrant a filter — MusikAnimal talk 15:29, 22 September 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" [34]. 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)

Edit filter for the word "Junior5a"
- Task: Prevents users from creating articles with the username Junior5a.
- Reason: A vandal has been going around making articles to harass the user Junior5a, and this will stop them from continuing. If they use a way around it (e.g. special unicode characters), add it to the filter. 96.237.29.253 (talk) 20:52, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- This might be better suited at the title blacklist. We should avoid using edit filters wherever possible, because they're quite expensive. Omni Flames (talk) 21:43, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- Sure... I guess. 96.237.29.253 (talk) 22:04, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- IP, to clarify, are you trying to prevent the creation of articles with the phrase Junior5a in the title? -- samtar talk or stalk 07:16, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Doneby BethNaught -actively monitored at Special:AbuseFilter/684- not sure if an addition to the title blacklist is warranted just yet -- samtar talk or stalk 11:00, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- This might be better suited at the title blacklist. We should avoid using edit filters wherever possible, because they're quite expensive. Omni Flames (talk) 21:43, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- @BethNaught and Samtar:, not sure what the best way forward is, but the edit filter logs the information about what was stopped. There were multiple entries that had to be suppressed because of the personal information that was caught by the filter. I think it is better to have the information stopped before it gets to the mainspace, but the information was available to all filter managers for a while. In this case would a title blacklist entry be better so we don't get the logs or should we just monitor the logs to watch for additional information that needs to be suppressed? -- GB fan 17:55, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- @GB fan: You're quite right - can you add
.*Junior5a.*
to the TBL? I'll disable the filter once that's done -- samtar talk or stalk 18:06, 13 September 2016 (UTC)- @Samtar:, I added that, hopefully I did it right as this is the first one I have ever done. -- GB fan 18:16, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Done, added to TBL - @GB fan: perfectly done - I've disabled the filter, and these page creations should now be stopped and not even enter the logs -- samtar talk or stalk 18:20, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Do NOT archive this; the same vandal has turned to extensively using the word "ZUUZUZ" in vandalism, presumably to harass Zzuuzz. 96.237.16.97 (talk) 20:19, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

IP et al, has this calmed down a little? The TBL entry will have prevented a great deal of the vandalism, but as mentioned above it is very easy to bypass as it is public. A filter may be needed in the future should disruption continue -- samtar talk or stalk 16:45, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Can something please be done to stop the disruption at the reference desks?

- samtar, I will email you the latest attacks. I've been looking at the edit filter docs and unless I'm missing something, the functionality is completely inadequate for filtering based on an editor's editing history. --NeilN talk to me 16:52, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
Supreme Genghis Khan Filter
- Task Tags all new users that have the words "Supreme", "Genghis", or "Khan" in their usernames. Also looks for the words "Supreme Genghis Khan", "Supreme Genghis", or "Supreme Khan" in articles.
- Reason: Supreme Genghis Khan, while not as active as he was a month ago, is still active. This filter will stop him from vandalising as easily.

- Done Between Special:AbuseFilter/58 and Special:AbuseFilter/579. Tags are not being added, and I'm not even sure if it's possible to do this for account creation. As it stands now only sysops will be able to view the logs, but from what I can tell they are being patrolled — MusikAnimal talk 21:16, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
- @MusikAnimal: Couldn't you use Special:log/newusers to look for new users to tag? ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 23:10, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
- @ThePlatypusofDoom: Nice, from Wikipedia:Tags it was evident this could be applied to log entries, but for some reason I wasn't able to figure that much out... Anyway, filter 579 is a shared filter that has been running for some time, so we should consult other filter authors before tagging hits. Pinging DoRD and Elockid — MusikAnimal talk 00:37, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
- I was just thinking about this filter earlier today because I'm seeing a lot of false positives on "Khan". As it is, the majority of the recent accounts that might look like SGK (and/or a number of other sockmasters) are actually someone else, and keeping track of who is who is becoming a minor annoyance. Anyway, I wouldn't be in favor of tagging any accounts just for a match on Khan. —DoRD (talk) 01:40, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
- What about just tagging if there are 2 of the 3 words? (It has to have 2 of the letter strings, not just Supreme, Genghis, or Khan) ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 13:34, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
- Seeing the account that just vandalized this page, I'm not sure if that will work. RickinBaltimore (talk) 20:26, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
- What about the word "Genghis"? also possbile when SGK make sock accounts like this example: "InterstateGenghis55". KGirlTrucker81 talk what I'm been doing 20:47, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
- We should probably discuss this somewhere that SGK can't see. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 22:24, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, try sending an email to wikipedia-en-editfilterslists.wikimedia.org, that way you can discuss things in private. Omni Flames (talk) 22:35, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Tikeem Cumberbatch Filter
- Task: Tags all new users with usernames containing "Tikeem" and/or "Cumberbatch" in their usernames. Also looks for the words "Tikeem" and/or "Cumberbatch" in articles.
- Reason: Detects any possible sockpuppet of and vandalism by Tikeem cumberbatch uttp tcgp own (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).

Denied requests
Tripled Or More Letter Filter
- Task: Basically, a blanket filter of one letter being repeated 3 times or more, such as ttt or something similar, as a very few words in the english language have 3 of the same letter back to back. Obviously for names, or abbreviations it wouldn't be a disallow, but would tag it.
- Reason: A lot of vandals have taken to just adding a string of one letters or else super-emphasizing a word to make it reeaaallllyyyy (example) long.

- @Iazyges: See Special:AbuseFilter/135, it handles repeating characters and tags them. Could you link to any edits that weren't tagged, that you feel should have been? — MusikAnimal talk 00:31, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
