Page you were editing: Talk:Anti-pedophile activism (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was submitting an edit request for disambiguation of a term and fixing of a redirect, which the system marked as "potentially unconstructive". I do not believe this to be the case.

Duckmather (talk) 03:45, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]; Done and a change to the filter may be needed. I don't think the page title should trigger on filter 478.

Page you were editing: GKE (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: False Positive in sense that I think that my change is valid. From point of view of desired filter behavior, may not be False Positive.

I do not know how to tell which filter rule triggered the filter. I suspect that filter has a rule against piping a wikilink caption in a redirect page. I further suspect that such a rule triggered the filter.

If so, the rule correctly detected a wikilink pipe in a redirect page. The reason I piped a wikilink caption in a redirect page I wrote as both a comment in the wikitext and as an Edit Description for Edit 1297216818.

If the filter was triggered by a test for piping a wikilink caption in a redirect page, then I think that Wikipedia worked right. The filter flagged a condition likely to be bad. But Wikipedia allowed me to publish the change anyway.

If the filter was NOT triggered by a test for piping a wikilink caption in a redirect page, then I think that the rule violation is likely an undesired positive detection.

Page you were editing: Aversion therapy (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Add another example

In the twelfth issue of the My Little Pony: Friends Forever spinoff of the comics of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Twilight Sparkle subjects Pinkie Pie to a form of aversion therapy by placing her in a cold pool and having her snap rubber bands to have her unsuccessfully overcome her addiction to a snack she likes.
