Description: Poorly constructed filter that cannot understand acronyms like ISBN, DOI, ISSN & OCLC.
Date and time: 06:02, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
Comments: Edit was not disallowed though a change to the filter may be needed. Using acronyms in a edit summary shouldn't trigger the filter. Nobody (talk) 06:31, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think we could add a second check below the first summary check that looks something like this: !(summary rlike "DOI|ISBN|ISSN|OCLC") – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 13:44, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, PI7. Using contains on a regex exclusion means that it must look for the exact string, and using rlike (using regex) should look to exclude summaries that have DOI, ISBN, ISSN, or OCLC. Codename Noreste (talk · contribs) 16:32, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah you are right. I had copied some earlier code with contains in it on accident. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 17:59, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description: I believe this error occurred because I edited some existing content, including quotes. However, as you can see, I corrected it according to the original sources and also made some copyedits elsewhere. You can verify the changes against the cited references. Additionally, I have added new content, all of which is accurately sourced.

Comments: This was filter 614, one of EFFPR's mainstays, and was triggered by the word "femboy". Leave it out, and I think the edit should go through. Duckmather (talk) 16:53, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
