It's probably just as well to note that, on Tuesday 22 June, 33 sites including PressTV.com were seized by the US government, meaning that their content cannot be accessed at their original domain names any longer. See
this Slate article: "PressTV was the best known of 33 websites whose domains were seized by U.S. authorities on Tuesday. According to the Justice Department’s statement, 30 of these sites were controlled by the Iranian Islamic Radio and Television Union, which is under the control of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the powerful military force that exudes significant control over Iran’s foreign policy and economy. Others sites seized included Al-Masirah, the news service of the Iran-backed Houthi rebel movement; and Palestine Today, a pro-Hamas news outlet. The U.S. also seized three websites linked to Kataib Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shiite militia group that has been blamed for attacking U.S. troops in Iraq. The legal basis for the IRTVU seizures came from a 2018 Donald Trump executive order, which authorizes sanctions against foreign entities involved in interference in U.S. elections. The U.S. has seized Iranian sites accused of spreading disinformation before, but none as prominent as PressTV, the country’s flagship international broadcaster launched in 2007." ←

This needs to be some sort of filter that does not disallow. Rather, it silently logs it and can only be patrolled by helpers. This is an LTA that targets the pages BS, Konjac, 74, and similar. They make subtle changes that are hard to decipher unless you are familiar with them (ask Zzuuzz). The summaries often ask wierd questions and the edits often mention Michelle Enrile, who died of choking on konjac, Kristoffer Hebert (often shortened to "Kris").

Task: Flag edits with edit summary if typo/fixed typo that where more than a couple-few characters are added or subtracted.
Reason: "fixed typo" and "typo" are common edit summaries (I think one of them is a listed choice). There's essentially never a good reason for an edit with that summary to have +- character count of more than a few characters. If so, it's usually vandalism, and if not that then multiple changes of "color" to "colour" and that sort of thing, or at any rate a mendacious or at least misleading edit summary. There're verrry few cases where "fixed typo" and (say) the addition or subtraction of 15 characters go together.

A single-character file name would likely either be too generic, or just be absurdly annoying (e.g. "⌬.svg" for a diagram of a benzene molecule).

Around sporting events, when one player or team bests another, vandals often go to their pages to say that Player X "owned" Team Y, or Player A is Player B's "daddy".

"\badopt(ed|er|or)\b|\bdad(dy)?\b")

This isn't a formal request since I don't quite know what the most effective way to go ahead this would be. See for example the edits of Special:Contributions/36.80.242.214. I think having something to prevent refactoring of talk page comments by others would be helpful (for example: if the edit does not add a signature but alters a comment which contains a signature from a different user: I don't know if this is too hard to code for, or if any potential solution would lead to false positives or to it being easily circumvented), especially since most vandalism and hence vandalism patrol happens in mainspace (and it is through the sheer luck of having this on my watchlist that I noticed).

(I'm not too familiar with edit filters, so this may have been brought up before; if so, apologies, and just give me a pointer.) One of the most common forms of inappropriate editing we see from new editors is the addition of hyperlinks within body text. Would it be possible to use an edit filter to track this and maybe someday help guide users to use a reference instead?
In technical terms, we would want this to tag all mainspace edits that introduce a URL to a non-Wikimedia site and that do not fall into one of these exception buckets:
Does that sound feasible? Cheers, {{u| Sdkb}} talk 22:14, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
Some fact.[https://some.ref]
instead of Some fact.<ref>https://some.ref</ref>
. We can't warn newbies for everything, or they'll just ignore everything we say, or worse give up and go to a more user-friendly site. As to creating a filter at all, even a log-only or tag-only filter, well I won't say "impossible", just "incredibly hacky if possible". If I can think of a clever way, I'll try something.

We can't warn newbies for everything, yeah; I think the main issue is that our tools for warning are too blunt—all we can do is have them encounter a big notice when they try to publish, rather than having a friendly "want to turn this into a reference? We don't allow inline external links" prompt pop up in a box next to the paragraph as soon as someone tries to add an inline external link.

A single-character file name would likely either be too generic, or just be absurdly annoying (e.g. "⌬.svg" for a diagram of a benzene molecule). Create protecting every title seems like it'd be really difficult, so I'd think it'd be better to just use an edit filter. Invalid OS talk 17:26, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm being deliberately vague here, but (a) how easy would it be to create a filter which would block a certain IP range from editing any article which started with a particular string? (i.e. block 999.999.0.0/16 from blocking any article that started with the digit 1?) and (b) could this be done for a wider reach than a /16? Black Kite (talk) 22:22, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
user_age == 0 &
page_title irlike "^(?:19|20)\d{2}$" &
/* maybe slightly cheaper */
user_name rlike "^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$" &
ip_in_range(user_name, "190.236.0.0/16")
Vandalism involving the words "hi" or "hello" seem to be somewhat common. Diffs:

Around sporting events, when one player or team bests another, vandals often go to their pages to say that Player X "owned" Team Y, or Player A is Player B's "daddy". I'm adding a few diffs here for you to see: [74] [75] [76]. Is there a way that a filter can be written to prevent some of this overdone pattern of vandalism? – Muboshgu ( talk) 18:32, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
"\badopt(ed|er|or)\b|\bdad(dy)?\b")
seems reasonable to add. I've realized it'd be really hard to cover every case without causing a lot of false positives. This might not work well, and I'd definitely recommend testing first.

I am requesting a black list about this word "any body can get on wiki and type liesssssss Bye Barney b", the same wording has been spammed and used by an LTA to vandalize multiple articles for several months until now [77]. 220.100.66.173 ( talk) 22:54, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
This isn't a formal request since I don't quite know what the most effective way to go ahead this would be. See for example the edits of Special:Contributions/36.80.242.214. I think having something to prevent refactoring of talk page comments by others would be helpful (for example: if the edit does not add a signature but alters a comment which contains a signature from a different user: I don't know if this is too hard to code for, or if any potential solution would lead to false positives or to it being easily circumvented), especially since most vandalism and hence vandalism patrol happens in mainspace (and it is through the sheer luck of having this on my watchlist that I noticed).

There seems to be a bunch of userpage spammers going around. I am requesting an edit filter that disallows creation of these pages when there's enough links (e.g. 100 external links). – AssumeGoodWraith ( talk | contribs) 11:18, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

(I'm not too familiar with edit filters, so this may have been brought up before; if so, apologies, and just give me a pointer.) One of the most common forms of inappropriate editing we see from new editors is the addition of hyperlinks within body text. Would it be possible to use an edit filter to track this and maybe someday help guide users to use a reference instead?
In technical terms, we would want this to tag all mainspace edits that introduce a URL to a non-Wikimedia site and that do not fall into one of these exception buckets:
Does that sound feasible? Cheers, {{u| Sdkb}} talk 22:14, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
Some fact.[https://some.ref]
instead of Some fact.<ref>https://some.ref</ref>
. We can't warn newbies for everything, or they'll just ignore everything we say, or worse give up and go to a more user-friendly site. As to creating a filter at all, even a log-only or tag-only filter, well I won't say "impossible", just "incredibly hacky if possible". If I can think of a clever way, I'll try something.

We can't warn newbies for everything, yeah; I think the main issue is that our tools for warning are too blunt—all we can do is have them encounter a big notice when they try to publish, rather than having a friendly "want to turn this into a reference? We don't allow inline external links" prompt pop up in a box next to the paragraph as soon as someone tries to add an inline external link.

These sockpuppets will spam the user talk of as many recently active editors they can find with requests to improve Akane Yamaguchi and the spam is getting to be quite disruptive. I just blocked Semwq, then immediately after that one Zasjd. Would it at all be possible to disallow new users from doing this rapid spam? I don't believe I've ever made a request here before so apologies in advance if this is not feasible or worth the time to create. Sro23 ( talk) 07:09, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
