Edit filters

Requested edit filters (WP:EF/R)

Brainrot account creation

I've seen a lot of accounts like this one that use brainrot terms and usually are bad faith accounts that just vandalize wikipedia. As a result, I think we should create a filter similar to 54 (hist · log) with the regex of 614 (hist · log). It should look something like this: 

action contains "createaccount" &
!contains_any(user_rights, "override-antispoof", "tboverride", "tboverride-account") &
(
abuseStr := "f\s*r\s*e\s*e\s*d\s*i\s*d\s*d\s*y|y\s*o\s*[lo\s]+s\s*w\s*[4ae]+\s*g+ // etc, the rest of the 614 regex;
(accountname irlike abuseStr)
)
– PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 17:14, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
If this request is implemented, it should also exclude users with tboveride and tboverride-account, as this is essentially equivalent to an addition to the title blacklist. JJPMaster (she/they) 03:43, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Added your suggestion to the proposed code. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 21:55, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Sorry, I missed an "r" in tboverride, so could you add that? JJPMaster (she/they) 22:03, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
PharyngealImplosive7, ccnorm(accountname) rlike abuseStr will not work for this lowercased regex, so use accountname irlike abuseStr instead if we plan to implement this new filter. But for now, I'm not seeing that many vandalism-only accounts with brainrot usernames on the recent changes list. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 03:34, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
I see them all the time. Not sure there's much point, though, because people can just choose a different username. It won't actually prevent any vandalism. If anything, usernames like this make it very easy to spot vandalism-only accounts. C F A 05:17, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
I mean I would intend this filter to be log-only like filter 54, so it's an easy way to see these accounts and block them quickly, not a disallow filter. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 23:55, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
I don't see a problem with that. C F A 00:38, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
Alternatively, there's User:AmandaNP/UAA/Blacklist in which someone can place a request to add some brainrot regex to that blacklist (usernames like these will eventually be reported to UAA). Codename Noreste (talk) 03:13, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
I have two issues here. The first is, is an edit filter the right path for implementation here, or would the title blacklist be more appropriate? The second is, if implemented through an edit filter, I would almost certainly only exclude override-antispoof, keeping with what was used for 54 (hist · log). This is given that tboverride is a far wider amount of people than would generally be creating accounts with unusual patterns. Unusual and otherwise generally disruptive username patterns are generally held for those with the account creator flag, which are those identified to the Foundation and working with account creation requests, as well as administrators. I'm not sure it's the best idea to toss in every page mover and template editor, given there would be a near-zero chance of them actually tripping this at all (not all PMR/TPE are account-creation savvy, either, such as a current TPE who isn't even extended confirmed...). EggRoll97 (talk) 02:46, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Prevent template vandalism

  • Task: Prevent template vandalism (exactly what it says on the tin).
  • Reason: Template vandalism can be extremely disruptive since templates are usually used on multiple pages and breaking that template breaks all of the pages that use the template. Many highly used templates are automatically semi-protected or template-protected by User:MusikBot II, but template vandalism still occurs nevertheless.
  • Diffs:

Duckmather (talk) 05:59, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

NOTE: There are a lot of pages in templatespace that aren't templates per se. These include subpages like /doc, /sandbox, and /testcases, and also for some reason that I don't understand all DYK nominations occur in subpages of Template:Did you know. These should probably be excluded from the filter, if there is one. Duckmather (talk) 06:00, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
At least the blanking should probably be on a filter. Nobody (talk) 06:24, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
I'm tempted to ask, how do these fare after RFPP? Wbr is now template-protected (hell, even I can't edit that template), and the others could probably be semi-protected, which would resolve most of the problem. An edit filter seems a bit much, though the blanking seems like something we could make a filter for. I'll look into that one. EggRoll97 (talk) 02:51, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps there's private filter 600 for this purpose? Codename Noreste (talk) 10:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Seems fine. I can work on that in a bit, unless you have code to send to the mailing list. EggRoll97 (talk) 23:57, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
Now sent over there. Codename Noreste (talk) 02:42, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

What are the urls of these incompatible wikis? – 2804:F1...69:1A4C (::/32) (talk) 15:09, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Mirrors and forks lists some of them, I don't think its even possible to make a complete list. There's also Fandom, which has both, compatible and non-compatible licenses for their wikis.[1] Nobody (talk) 15:36, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Here's the basic code for it. (With a few example urls of mirrors that aren't compatible.)

Code
equals_to_any(page_namespace, 0, 2, 118) &
!contains_any(user_groups, "extendedconfirmed", "sysop", "bot") &
(
    url := "\d{5}\.us|99colors\.net|alchetron\.com|celebsagewiki\.com|en-us\.nina\.az|knowpia\.com|profilpelajar\.com|wikizero\.org";
    
    added_lines irlike url &
    !(removed_lines irlike url) &
    !(summary irlike "^(?:revert|rv|undid)")
)
Nobody (talk) 17:44, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
1AmNobody24, I've modified the code to also exclude removed_lines. Without it, the user would get flagged regardless if they edit a part of a section containing the website or not. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 23:17, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Filter for drive-by, unconstructive talk page junk related to student assignments

  • Task: This is related to the persistent issue with talk page junk, some of which is addressed by Special:AbuseFilter/1245. I am proposing a filter to catch a further subset of them, most likely generated by students, that follow a specific but extremely common pattern:
  • The page is not a user talk page, a sandbox page, or any subpage of Wikipedia:Reference desk
  • The editor is an IP
  • The subject line should be a school subject from a predetermined list. Some subjects that are common here: "English", "Math", "Mathematics", "Maths", "Geography", "History", "Social studies", "Chemistry", "Civics", "Physics", "Biology", "Life science", "Earth science".
  • One or more of the following should apply to the comment body:
  • Comment filter 1: Edits that are really short (fewer than 5 words or thereabouts)
  • Comment filter 2: Edits that start with certain phrases: "Definition of", "Write", "Information about", etc.
  • Comment filter 3: Edits that start with the phrases "what is" or "what are" (possibly others) and are somewhat short (fewer than 10-20 words? idk)
This specific subset is clearly related to student assignments -- WikiEd doesn't think it's related to their assignments specifically -- there is a correlation but it's probably just school, in general. For instance this diff seems to be associated with this assignment or a very similar one.
I suspect some of these are produced by LLMs, text-to-speech, search integrations, or other automated tools because of the time frame (the date they really started pouring in lines up almost exactly with the date GPT-3, ChatGPT, etc. came out); because of the formulaic predictability of the pattern; and because of certain tells in some of these suggesting they're overheard conversations, ChatGPT prompts, etc. (Here is a smoking gun for this.) These edits have almost no utility and usually go unanswered; if they are answered, it's usually to scold the user, who almost never responds.
There are literally thousands of these, cleaning them up is a huge task, and that task also has a deadline. If nobody cleans them up before the page is archived (which is likely to happen because school-curriculum talk pages are often long, and because archiving is often done by bots who don't check what they're doing) then they will be stuck there forever. (I cannot emphasize enough how arbitrary and asinine that is, but whatever.). While I'm willing to clean up as much of the existing stuff as I catch in time, it would be nice to stop the floods.
I'm happy to add to or refine this filter to reduce false positives and catch more false negatives, this is off the top of my head. The real solution is to either find a technological or UI-design cause, but this subset of edits is just so predictable that a filter might make sense.
If you want to find more -- or to help clean them up -- the relevant search pattern is insource:"UTC [subject]". A search pattern more prone to false positives is insource:"[subject or common one-word edit] Special".

Gnomingstuff (talk) 19:04, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Bumping this. I can provide more acronyms that are even less likely to be false positives. Gnomingstuff (talk) 20:25, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Here is some regex I've made quickly so it might not be accurate completely:
!("confirmed" in user_groups) &
!( (page_namespace == 3) || (page_namespace == 4 & contains_any(page_title, "sandbox", "reference desk")) ) & 
( 
    junkStr := "={1,6}\s*(?:(?:math(?:ematics)?)|(?:english))\s*={1,6}"; /* add other subjects */
    added_lines irlike junkStr &
    !(removed_lines irlike junkStr)
) &
(edit_delta < 50 || added_lines irlike "(?:(?:definition\s*of) || (?:write) || (?:info(?:rmation)?\s*about)) || (?:what\s*(?:(?:is)) )
This is fairly rudimentary and probably has a few errors but I hope it helps in creating a sketch of what the filter could look like. Thanks, – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 14:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC).
PharyngealImplosive7, your suggestion unfortunately does not work because the regex did not match some edits from those diffs, and because of the regex in the last line which was broken. Gnomingstuff, are there recent cases of these specific talk page junk edits? These diffs that you have provided are from 2022 and 2023, and because of that I believe that it's not worth creating a new filter just to check for these edits. Codename Noreste (talk) 03:10, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
Yeah the edit filter is not going to catch anywhere near 100% of this -- I'm mostly hoping to hit the major categories while avoiding false positives as much as possible.
That said, this is absolutely still ongoing. The list of diffs I linked is heavily skewed toward 2022/2023 because it only includes talk pages that have been archived. If the talk page wasn't archived, then I just reverted the edit and it isn't on that list.
I can put together a list of December 2024/January 2025 diffs but it'll take a while. Gnomingstuff (talk) 04:27, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

@Codename Noreste OK, timeboxed to about ~1 hour or so of searching, here are some edits from the past 30 days that fall into this category. This is not a complete list -- a lot of what was out there has been reverted/caught, which is why the list is skewed toward the past few days -- nor a full list of subjects, nor representative of how much each subject gets relative to the others. It's just what I found in an hour.

Sample drive-by edits, 9 December 2024 - 10 January 2025
  • diff, 9 December 2024 (political science)
  • diff, 9 December 2024 (social studies, more elaborate subject line)
  • diff, 19 December 2024 (history)
  • diff, 20 December 2024 (social studies)
  • diff, 22 December 2024 (biology; a little over the wordcount)
  • diff, 23 December 2024 (English; subject line is longer and misspelled so outside current filter, but demonstrates the nature of these edits)
  • diff, 24 December 2024 (history; see above note)
  • diff, 26 December 2024 (English)
  • diff, 26 December 2024 (science)
  • diff, 26 December 2024 (physics)
  • diff, 30 December 2024 (social/social studies; a common pattern is for the body text to be the title of the article but not sure you can do that with regex except maybe with some capture group)
  • diff, 30 December 2024 (English)
  • diff, 2 January 2025 (math)
  • diff, 4 January 2025 (English)
  • diff, 6 January 2025 (biology)
  • diff, 6 January 2025 (maths)
  • diff, 6 January 2025 (mathematics)
  • diff, 7 January 2025 ("economic" - economics)
  • diff, 7 January 2025 (physics)
  • diff, 7 January 2025 (SST - social studies)
  • diff, 7 January 2025 (geography; has tells of text-to-speech query)
  • diff, 8 January 2025 (biology)
  • diff, 8 January 2025 (biology)
  • diff, 8 January 2025 (social studies)
  • diff, 8 January 2025 (science)
  • diff 1, diff 2, diff 3, 8 January 2025 (history; as above the subject line is too long for the proposed filter but it demonstrates the fact that this is drive-by homework queries)
  • diff, 8 January 2025 (chemistry and English; two subjects in one)
  • diff, 8 January 2025 (SST - social studies)
  • diff, 9 January 2025 (science)
  • diff, 9 January 2025 (history)
  • diff, 9 January 2025 (economics)
  • diff 1, diff 2, 9 January 2024 (social studies; has text-to-speech tell)
  • diff, 9 January 2025 (history)
  • diff, 10 January 2025 (history; ending in just "ok" is another common pattern, also this edit was from, like, right now)

EF 189

I've seen many users insert 'p(a)edophile', 'nonce', or the like in articles when undue (vandalize). In my view, this should be disallowed, rather than tagged, as there are few cases where new users constructively do such a thing from my time at RecentChanges.

The filter being private, I can only guess at its specific contents, but to the best of my knowledge there are other changes that trip it, so this might require a new filter.

Is my idea—to disallow pedophilia accusations by new users—a good idea, or are such edits already handled by other filters I don't know of with higher accuracy? JayCubby 23:02, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

There is 39 and 1297 already that include these, among others. They both do warnings. Do you have diffs for any specific edits? EggRoll97 (talk) 23:59, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
I can give you a large number where the phrases have been used in edit-summaries - especially from one LTA - however they're all revision-deleted as far as I can see. Can the EF deal with edit-summaries? Black Kite (talk) 00:04, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Yes, Black Kite, a filter can disallow based on edit summaries. I don't think we currently have any general-use ones that deal in summaries. I wouldn't mind tossing one in and testing, though. EggRoll97 (talk) 00:12, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Most of them are OS'd or pending OS. This is on a deceased person, so it's apparently OK to keep unrevdelled. JayCubby 00:13, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Done to 384, should disallow now. Y Done for the bot. EggRoll97 (talk) 00:23, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

DATEVAR/ENGVAR template changes

  • Task: Log when the template indicating an article's WP:DATEVAR (i.e. {{Use dmy dates}} and {{Use mdy dates}}) or WP:ENGVAR (e.g. {{Use British English}}) is changed from one variety to another. It would also be interesting to see whether them being removed from an article entirely is typically erroneous.
  • Reason: It is a common gnoming activity to impose what is felt to be the correct date variety or English variety across a large number of articles, but without familiarity with what the corresponding guidelines say. Instances where these swaps are made for legitimate reasons are comparatively infrequent (notwithstanding reversions).
  • Diffs: [2][3]

Remsense ‥ 论 05:08, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

N Denied Trivial formatting mistakes and edits that at first glance look fine but go against some obscure style guideline...are not suitable candidates for an edit filter. Your first diff is a theoretically good faith edit, and your second is a content dispute between what is claimed to be MILFORMAT and DATEVAR. EggRoll97 (talk) 00:05, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

User:QEnigma

Hello, I would like to apply for New page reviewer rights. I am actively involved in reviewing Recent changes and Pending changes. I have also been reviewing Articles for creation since December 2024. Additionally, I have participated in Articles for deletion discussions. My primary areas of interest include politics, politicians, history, sports and topics related to Sri Lanka. I always strive to explain to editors the reasons for reverting their edits or declining their submissions when addressing their queries. I have also contributed by creating articles in the mainspace and participating in the NPPS programme to enhance my knowledge. Thank you. QEnigma talk 19:59, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

User:Anuwrites

During my one-month trial as a NPR, I reviewed dozens of pages, nominated several for deletion or sending some to draftspace and edited/improved some pages. While I made some mistakes, such as accepting (good) page(s) created by socks that were later deleted, I intend to continue contributing responsibly by carefully reviewing pages, adhering to guidelines. I request renewal of the rights to continue supporting the project effectively. ANUwrites 04:24, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

User:AndreJustAndre

I was previously a reviewer for a trial during which I earned the top new reviewer award for December 2023 and the patroller's barnstar for over 100 reviews in 2023. If there are no objections, I'd like to try another trial. I am a party in the ARBPIA case, but if that remedy passes, I will observe a topic ban of ARBPIA. Even if it doesn't pass, I'll be very cautious about reviewing ARBPIA if those pages happen to come up. As far as my AFD stats, I had a user rename recently, but I have a snapshot of my old stats at User:AndreJustAndre/Deletion which you can cross-reference with the stats under my present name. I also have a User:AndreJustAndre/CSD log and a User:AndreJustAndre/XfD log. I was hitting in the low-mid 80% on all AFDs and about 2/3 of my nominations, whereas under my renamed name I'm hitting about 2/3 of all AFDs. Happy to discuss any of my reviews from the last trial with anyone. Thanks. Andre🚐 05:25, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

I have been patrolling the recent changes page for a long time now, and it's pretty much the only thing I do on here (other then occasional copyediting.) When I learned about rollback and its benefits, I thought that could be a huge help for me and patrolling against vandalism. I love patrolling, and this will make my life so much easier.

Tenebre.Rosso.Sangue995320, I'll decline this request for now. I might grant the pending changes reviewer permission although your request for it is based on a desire for "combatting vandals" rather than accepting non-vandalism, which is what the permission primarily allows you to do. Your Simple English Wikipedia userpage, for the record, had only the following content: penis. The concerns voiced by others on your user talk page seem to confirm my original impression of a lack of experience (and perhaps simply maturity). When you patrol recent changes and inform users about the problems with their edits, the impression you make on the newcomers will often be their primary impression from Wikipedia (or its moderation, its perceived representatives, its community) as a whole. It may help to imagine Wikipedia as a workplace where you interact with colleagues, everyone is paid to behave professionally and to improve the encyclopedia while sitting in an office with a cup of coffee on the desk. Imagine there's a meeting on, let's say 21 February 2025, in this room here, where you apply for the position as "rollbacker" in your company. In your application, you could provide a few examples for obvious, clear vandalism that you reverted, and that you could have reverted more efficiently if you had had access to a rollback link. Perhaps you could also provide a few counterexamples where you undid someone's good-faith contributions and explained the problem to the user, which is a situation where using rollback wouldn't have been an option, and you are aware of this. Feel free to notify me about the request and I'll probably grant it. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:23, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights

Hello! I routinely go to the Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection when I spot vandalism. I believe this would make the process of resolving issues faster. If you need links to my requests, I can provide them! If there is more things I could do, please tell me. NotQualified (talk) 22:49, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

NotQualified, I think this is too early. If you can provide 10 diff links to edits made by you that would have benefited from the rollback permission, I'll reconsider. Else, please actively patrol Special:RecentChanges for at least a month, sending warning messages to users whose edits you have reverted, and reporting users at WP:AIV who ignore the warnings. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:25, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

User:Jingiby

Hello everyone. I would like to request rollback rights here. I have a long and controversial history on the English Wikipedia but hope that especially in recent years, I have proved as to other editors, as well to the administrators, a positive change in my editorial behavior. I myself, don't forgive and don't forget my mistakes, but believe that with my experience and knowledge on the Macedonian issue, I will be useful in the fight against vandalism in this complicated question. Even though I'm worried, I remember Matthew 7:7-8: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Thanks. Jingiby (talk) 09:01, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello Jingiby. You had rollback declined a few years ago (June 20, 2018), per this link. At that time, reviewers mentioned your prior blocks on enwiki and an indef block on the Macedonian Wikipedia. The admin who declined your rollback was User:Swarm. Have there been any new developments since 2018 that you would like to bring to our attention here? EdJohnston (talk) 23:53, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
I haven't been blocked on the Macedonian Wikipedia for years, but in general, the attitude towards Bulgarian editors on historical topics there is a quite special. Jingiby (talk) 06:03, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
