Done and a change to the filter may be needed. I've made the edit for you, and am not sure why that edit triggered the filter; it shouldn't have. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:44, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ohnoitsjamie The edit touched a paragraph matching line 43 of the filter. You want to check added_lines also. FYI it might be a good time to prune a few of those checks if they aren't needed anymore; you're already using a sizable fraction of the condition limit for users not in the excluded groups.

I commented out some clauses that probably aren't needed anymore; I see the line where it gets triggered, but that text wasn't removed in the diff, so not sure why it was triggered. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:07, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Editing a line is considered "removing" the old line, and "adding" back the modified line. So if they change "foo bar" to "foo" then "foo" will be in both added_lines and removed_lines. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 02:14, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This should have been marked as "done and a change may be needed", rather than "not done" since the edit was implemented. I've fixed that (courtesy ping @Ohnoitsjamie:). Also ping @MusikAnimal: @ProcrastinatingReader: @Suffusion of Yellow: for further investigation.

Comments: Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. I'm not sure why this was flagged as "replacing a page with obscenities" - that's not an appropriate description of the edit. Nonetheless, the edit removed swaths of referenced content and also deleted several tables/info boxes, and therefore I don't feel comfortable implementing this.

Sometimes, a user will post a question and forget all about it. It is easy to forget about these unless you keep a record of the questions you posted to refer back to later. One useful method for doing this is to set aside a section of your User page or Talk page, to keep a list of links to your queries. In this list, you can place section links which lead directly to the sub hearings MEMZAT10 (AKA $7lu$ sections) under which you posted your queries.
