Description

Attempting to report a username violation at WP:UAA and WP:AIV, but being blocked by filter 260. Could these edit filters have an exception for WP:UAA and WP:AIV?

Already done by Codename Noreste. Maybe we could exclude those two pages with !contains_any(page_id, 26204397, 1952670, 11022716) /** [[WP:EF/FP]], [[WP:AIV]] and [[WP:UAA]] **/? Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 22:58, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Codename Noreste Filter 260 already has a line to stop it from blocking edits to this page, perhaps add UAA there too, since the whole point of that page is to report profane usernames? 86.23.109.101 (talk) 23:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I meant to say: modify line 10 of the filter to exclude AIV and UAA. I endorse this. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 23:16, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinned – This thread has been pinned and will not be archived until this template has been removed. This request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter manager. I agree with adding those IDs to line 10 of Filter 260. Nobody (talk) 06:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Declined – Edits were vandalism. Private disallow filters trigerred, but looks like vandalism from the public filters. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 23:29, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
