Comments: Edit was not disallowed though a change to the filter may be needed. @Suffusion of Yellow: as the main EFM who actively maintains this filter. Would it be possible to change |cool(?:est)? to |cool(?:est)?(?!\s+.{,10}\s+temperature) just to exclude temperature-related false positives? I don't think changing the rest of the filter is feasible to exclude these types of edits though. Tell me what you think. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 22:59, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
