Edit filters
Edits adding raw text maintenance tags instead of standard templates
- Task: Log edits meeting above criteria
- Reason: Editors have been adding maintenance tags in raw text instead of using the correct templates
- Diffs: Examples of fix: Special:Diff/1293287735, 74 JWB edits
I wish to log edits where editors add Wikipedia:
, WP:
, Help:
(case insensitive) inside of <sup></sup>
to check the extent to which new editors use raw text instead of actual maintenance tags, and if a bot will be required for regular maintenance of this or not. Thanks! —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 21:35, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- This might work:
- 『π』BalaM314〘talk〙 14:37, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
added_lines contains "<sup>[''[[Wikipedia:"
- The basics could be something like I haven't checked yet for how many of those edits it works, but it could be a start. Nobody (talk) 06:10, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
equals_to_any(page_namespace, 0) & added_lines irlike "<sup>(\[|[)\'\'\[\[(Wikipedia|Help|WP|H)\:"
- And instead of using
equals_to_any(page_namespace, 0)
, we could just usepage_namespace == 0
since there is only one namespace being checked here. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 07:37, 12 June 2025 (UTC) - The regex looks to be working as intended. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 01:21, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
- I'll test the regex with all of the hits from above. @CX Zoom looks like there's already some more again according to this search. Want to start JWB again or wait until we got the filter in place? Nobody (talk) 06:29, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

- @CX Zoom I've started the list for edit's to check against the regex at User:1AmNobody24/sandbox. Still missing around 2/3 of the total edits, but I'll get there eventually. Nobody (talk) 13:28, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

as well:Codename Noreste (talk · contribs) 22:34, 23 June 2025 (UTC)equals_to_any(page_namespace, 0) & !("bot" in user_groups) & ( nope := "<sup>(?:\[|[)''\[\[(?:Wikipedia|Help|WP|H):"; added_lines rlike nope & !(removed_lines rlike nope) )
- I've checked around 200 edits (some listed here, the others are part of this list). This code:worked for all I checked. There's some more variables that could be used like
pattern :="<sup>(?:\[|[)''\[\[(?:Wikipedia|Help):"; equals_to_any(page_namespace, 0, 2, 118) & !contains_any(user_groups, "sysop", "bot") & added_lines irlike pattern & !(removed_lines irlike pattern)
user_editcount
for example, but not sure it really matters. Nobody (talk) 12:59, 24 June 2025 (UTC)- Should we exempt sysops - they can make this mistake also? – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 15:46, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- They are not likely to do it, but I am also not really in favour of increasing the complexity of the filter to exclude them when we just log the edits, not prevent or tag it. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 15:51, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

Adding nonexistent templates
- Task: Log (and possibly tag?) whenever the user adds a transclusion of a template that does not exist. Also, warn on certain edits. Warning all such edits would be far too bitey in my opinion. However, in my opinion, I think the following categories of edits would likely benefit from a warning. (Also, I think the warnings should mainly be restricted to mainspace or maybe talkspace; drafts and userpages should be free for now.) The categories of edits to warn could be, of course, adjusted once the filter is in.
- Edits by IPs and new users. In many cases, these are vandalism.
- Edits made in the mobile Wikipedia app. (Since it doesn't have a visual editor, it's incredibly easy to forget to close your curly braces; a warning would really help with this.)
- Malformed citations (this could be detected by looking for the word "cite" or a URL in the title).
- Nonexistent "country data" templates; these can arise from misuse of templates like {{flag}} or {{flagicon}}
- Nonexistent WikiProject tags in talkspace (which could both arise from vandalism and from AWB mistakes).
- (One possible approach could be to pair a log-only filter, which catches all nonexistent templates, with a separate warn filter. This two-filter approach has been tried before, for example in 1296 and 1297, so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work here. Given the heterogeneity of these categories, it might be even better to have multiple warn filters, so we could show a different warning for each category.)
- Reason: For months upon months, I have been patrolling Wikipedia:Database reports/Transclusions of non-existent templates. While this work is fun, it is also very repetitive and time-consuming. I would love for an edit filter manager to (at least partially) automate my job away.
- Diffs: For some of these categories:
- IP edits: Special:Diff/1293550819, Special:Diff/1293125755, Special:Diff/1293212733
- Newer users: Special:Diff/1289697596, Special:Diff/1265724323
- Malformed citations: Special:Diff/1288824615, Special:Diff/1291883754
- Malformed WikiProject tags: Special:Diff/1293530431 (was vandalism), Special:Diff/1293267289 (was AWB but in good faith)
Duckmather (talk) 00:38, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Duckmather: I'm commenting on the technical aspects here, to see if such a filter (or multiple) could exist. I'm not sure if the abusefilter can check whether a template exists or not; maybe it could check if a the text in a template exists (in the template namespace of course) using
page_last_edit_age
(if it's notnull
, then the page exists) but I'm not sure. The mobile app constraint is fairly easy to check (the AbuseFilter extension) has a variableuser_app
built into it for this exact purpose. - I'm not sure if the "country data" thing is actually possible with an AbuseFilter - that would require crosschecking with whatever module supports those the
{{flag}}
and{{flagicon}}
templates which isn't possible as far as I know. A similar issue occurs with the wikiproject tags issue you bring up; the AbuseFilter can not cross-reference a module as far as I know. I also don't think checking if someone has properly closed template brackets or otherwise is possible with the AbuseFilter in a feasible way; the logic would be pretty complex and would still produce a lot of FPs. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 03:50, 3 June 2025 (UTC)- @PharyngealImplosive7: The filter is in fact doable. The key idea is to use the
new_html
variable, which uses parsing to detect whether templates exist or not. For example, if I were to write{{fake example}}
, this would translate into HTML as<a href="/w/index.php?title=Template:Fake_example&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Template:Fake example (page does not exist)">Template:Fake example</a>
. You could in turn detect this redlink using the regex<a href="\/w\/index\.php\?title=Template:[^"]*\;redlink=1\" class=\"new\"
. Of course, this line of code by itself would generate false positives, as wikilinking a nonexistent template the usual way will also produce identical HTML, so it would need some refining. But I don't see any fundamentally technical barriers preventing you from pulling this off. Duckmather (talk) 04:37, 3 June 2025 (UTC)- @Duckmather: That indeed is a smart approach; I didn't think of that. However, one more thing to note is that
new_html
is a large variable, so ideally it should be placed at the end of any filter for performance reasons. I believe that my point of detecting if someone has left brackets closed or not is unfeasible still stands though. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 06:07, 3 June 2025 (UTC)- After a moderate amount of thought and a lot of procrastination, I have some draft code. Define the following regular expressions:
- wikitext_template := "{{[^\||\n|}]*(\||\n|}})";

- nonexistent_template = '<a href="\/w\/index\.php\?title=Template:([^" ]*)\;redlink=1\" class=\"new\"';
- (To explain:
wikitext_template
catches the use of any template in wikitext;common_template
catches various commonly used templates; andnonexistent_template
catches a HTML link to a nonexistent template. Part of why this took so long is that I had to try several different things before I could get a satisfactory list of common templates.) - With these regular expressions in place, the logging filter could be defined as follows:
- added_lines rlike wikitext_template &
- rcount(common_template, added_lines) < rcount(wikitext_template, added_lines) &
- new_html rlike nonexistent_template
- and with the same regular expressions in place, the warning filter could be defined as follows:
- equals_to_any(page_namespace, 0, 1, 118) &
- rcount(common_template, added_lines) < rcount(wikitext_template, added_lines) &
- new_html like nonexistent_template &

Possible conflict of interest edits where username is suspiciously similar to the page title?
- Task: see section title
- Reason: I just reverted two edits by User:AndiArndt8, a username which I noticed is suspiciously similar to the title of the article, Andi Arndt. (This is also why I warned them with {{uw-coi}}.) There are two filters that check for exactly this - 148 and its logging companion 147 - but they only check page creations. Since COI is a huge problem on Wikipedia, this filter could be very beneficial.
- Diffs: first, second
Duckmather (talk) 14:43, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- Hey Duckmather, this is Andi Arndt. Are we not allowed to edit info that is about us? I no longer live in the Shenandoah Valley so I updated it along with a few other items. I’m new to Wikipedia so if it’s not allowed we can just pretend I live in Virginia. 172.222.126.162 (talk) 17:14, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- As a rule of thumb, no. See WP:COI. You should make an edit request instead, or at least cite a reliable source that isn't yourself. Duckmather (talk) 18:36, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- Or, for completely mundane information like having moved somewhere else, you can make an edit request to cite something you verifiably wrote yourself outside of Wikipedia. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 05:55, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Adding YouTube links
- Task: This filter applies to users without the "confirmed" group (including IP addresses), and it disallows edits that add content containing "youtube.com/watch".

Request AWB permissions to assist with several cleanup tasks across my WikiProjects of interests such as Women in Red, India, Computational Biology, and others. Types of cleanups often include fixing typos, especially for WP:INDIA where {{tl:Use Indian english}} is often used but content may not reflect that, or vice-versa. Other general cleanups that I do include fixing line or paragraph breaks, infobox lists, or basic copyediting. I believe I used to have AWB access years ago, but it expired due to inactivity.

Hi, I'm requesting rights be extended after a one month trial. I would like to request permanent NPR rights if possible, as I have greatly enjoyed contributing in this capacity and I am eager to help reduce the backlog. Thanks! Halley luv Filipino ❤ (Talk) 00:23, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

I'm a patroller on the Hebrew Wikipedia with extensive experience in content review and Wikipedia policies. I am also familiar with English Wikipedia's guidelines and have been actively participating here, including contributing to article creation and quality control processes. I would like to contribute to New Page Patrol, mainly on topics related to Israel, Judaism, and Hungary, and I would be happy to expand my knowledge and activity into additional areas.

Not done, I'm not comfortable at this time giving you the NPP userright. Typically, on enwiki we do not consider cross-wiki experience especially in the context of en-wiki-specific-content heavy permission like NPP. The fact that you want to work on the currently "unstable" area of WP:PIA coupled with your lack of AFD participation and the fact that relatively recently created articles like Rafael Hayun use unreliable sources like Tiktok make this a no for now.

Hi there, my rights expire on the 30th and I would like to request an extension. I did ask a few weeks ago since I know of the perennial backlog here, but got rejected on the basis it was too early. I'm reapplying now since it's a little under a week until that happens. Aydoh8[what have I done now?] 23:34, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Done, till Sept 2025, noting that an article structured like Julie Andrews (academic) could probably do with a bit of tagging in terms of prose improvements, but I don't see issues with core notability judgements. Sohom (talk) 03:12, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

I was granted reviewer rights for two times, both were temporary. I'm here requesting the right again to review the articles and make the burden less for others too. I was not active like before due to some personal issues, but I'm going to be active now. Please consider extending my rights. Thankyou Taabii (talk) 17:23, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello there, this is my third time requesting new page reviewer permissions, as the previous two requests were granted on a one-month trial basis and the current trial will end on the 30th of June. I have learnt a lot about the policies for notability and inclusion and will be able to reduce the size of the unreviewed pages backlog significantly.

I am currently an AFC reviewer and am familiar with the deletion processes. I would like to help clear the backlog as well as help in identifying spam, copyrighted and promo pages. I believe I meet the criteria for this right. I am requesting a trial. Thanks Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 01:04, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello, my rights expired and I completely forgot to reapply till now. I would like to request an extension, as I think I didn't do enough patrolling to warrant a permanent grant (thanks AfC backlog drive). Thank you. mwwv converse∫edits 01:10, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

My current NPR rights are due to expire on 1 July 2025. While I may not be reviewing in large volumes, I focus on thorough, policy-aligned reviews that aim to improve or appropriately tag each page. I’d like to keep my NPR rights for continued constructive contributions. Thank You. Ambrosiawater (talk) 07:55, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi! I want to help out with NPP as there is been a longstanding backlog. I requested this right last year, but was told participate more in AfD discussions. Since, I have participated and as well as nominated for deletions. I think I'm ready now, thanks! Vestrian24Bio 02:57, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

I saw there was a large backlog and reviewing articles is a nice change of pace. I have review experience from the required review when submitting DYK articles. Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 15:54, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
Not done. Thank you for your interest, but it looks like you are currently pblocked from mainspace for copyright violations. I think this block would need to be removed before you could be considered for NPP. Feel free to re-apply in the future though. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:32, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

I found a reviewable edit that was not good and had already been reverted the first time it was placed. I reverted the new version of it, since the edit was not following the Wikipedia guidelines. I think that I should have Reviewing pending changes rights, since I have experience with reverting vandalism and disruptive edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Floating Orb (talk • contribs) 19:37, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Not done Sorry, I still don't think your ready yet. In addition to the complaints from before, you've picked up a copyvio warning since your previous request, which does not bode well. And blanking/archiving your talk page right after making this request, while of course procedurally allowed, reeks of a bad-faith attempt to cover your tracks. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:43, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi I am requesting rights to use the rollback feature as finding vandalism has actually been a very cool thing for me. I am requesting to be able so I don't have to undo multiple edits by spam-vandals, as I feel like it makes me kind of a spammer when I do this, and doing it all at once would be a great thing. I will admit that I had absolutely no idea that anyone could post warnings on talk pages, I thought that only admins and other experienced members who are given rights could do so. I just want to feel like less of a spammer when reverted edits, so I am requesting this rollback feature. Thanks, MakaylaHippo1998 MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 05:55, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Not done Stop WP:Hat collecting. This request says nothing that the previous requests didn't say before. And while you have now mostly started warning other editors, here's another morsel to consider: only a week ago you said
modifications are coming in with blazing speed almost every milli-second
, which is both not true (the average edit rate is around 2 edits per second, or one per 500 milliseconds), and evinces an attitude incompatible with rollback access; it's more important to be correct in what you are reverting, and to take those few seconds to think, than to race to the bottom trying to revert edits as fast as possible. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:51, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
