== Edit not picked up by filter 1112 ==

Anyone know why [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bown&diff=prev&oldid=1335832454 this edit] wasn't picked up by {{AbuseFilter|1112}}? [[User:Aydoh8|Aydo]][[User talk:Aydoh8|h8]]<sup>[[Special:Contributions/Aydoh8|[what&nbsp;have&nbsp;I&nbsp;done&nbsp;now?]]]</sup> 13:05, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:Aydoh8|Aydoh8]]: Unable to reproduce step by step, but I think it's because there is no standalone ''header'' of interest (like "Notable people"). [[User:Matěj Suchánek|Matěj Suchánek]] ([[User talk:Matěj Suchánek|talk]]) 08:39, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

== "Epstein" vandalism ==

This is my idea, the term "epstein" or "jeffrey epstein" is unique for vandalism for non-autoconfirmed users because they are recently encountered such as [[Epstein Files]] released in 2026. should to be add in filter {{AbuseFilter|1297}} or new filter?

=="Editing filter" layout messed up?==
{{tracked|T417368|resolved}}
Starting this morning, the layout for "Special:AbuseFilter/<filterId>" editing page changed; now the center column that contains the filter is half the width because the first column is taking up too much space (mostly whitespace).  I'm using the monobook theme. Anyone else notice this? <b>[[User:Ohnoitsjamie|OhNo<span style="color: #D47C14;">itsJamie</span>]] [[User talk:Ohnoitsjamie|<sup>Talk</sup>]]</b> 13:24, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

== [[Special:AbuseFilter/1355]] ==

Given that we have a persistent LTA closing AFDs out of process and edit warring on AFD pages, is there any reason why we shouldn't set this filter to disallow at this point? [[User:Sugar Tax|Sugar Tax]] ([[User talk:Sugar Tax|talk]]) 21:58, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

:Yes, there's a reason. I'll make an adjustment to see if we can't slow them down, but any further discussion is probably better suited to the mailing list since this is a private filter. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan|talk]]) 22:35, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

== False negative by [[Special:AbuseFilter/1402|filter 1402]] ==

[[Special:Diff/1342234944]] added an archive.ph link but the edit was not disallowed. [[User:SuperPianoMan9167|SuperPianoMan9167]] ([[User talk:SuperPianoMan9167|talk]]) 21:27, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

:{{Not done}}. That's intentional. We are not disallowing archive.today links on talk pages at this point. From an outbound traffic standpoint, article space is the primary issue. We will probably disallow it at some point when article space is in much better shape than it is right now, but we don't want to disallow discussions by people trying to replace archive.today links. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan|talk]]) 21:34, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
::Ok. I removed the link anyway because this site should not be linked to. [[User:SuperPianoMan9167|SuperPianoMan9167]] ([[User talk:SuperPianoMan9167|talk]]) 21:35, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] Could we add a log-only filter for added archive.today links in non-content namespaces? [[User:SuperPianoMan9167|SuperPianoMan9167]] ([[User talk:SuperPianoMan9167|talk]]) 21:38, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
:::{{done}}. See {{ef|1401}}. I snarfed 1401 since it had no hits and wasn't needed anymore. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan|talk]]) 22:16, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
::::Thanks! [[User:SuperPianoMan9167|SuperPianoMan9167]] ([[User talk:SuperPianoMan9167|talk]]) 22:21, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::No problem. I think we might be able to turn this into a warning filter, but let's see what the hits look like for a few days first. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan|talk]]) 22:31, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::@[[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]]: I [[Special:Diff/1342277052|tried testing it]] in [[User:SuperPianoMan9167/sandbox|my sandbox]] and it isn't triggering the filter. Any idea why?

::::::::Filter 1401's title should be revised since it does not log any edits, but warns. [[User:Codename Noreste|<span style="color:#0024FF">Codename Noreste</span>]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Codename Noreste|contribs]]) 21:09, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Adding a warning seems reasonable because all of the hits so far are edit requests and additions to drafts in user space. I added a custom warning template at [[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-archivetoday]] and enabled warnings.

== Filter 135 and sandboxes ==

Recently, [[Special:AbuseFilter/135|filter 135]] was expanded to cover additional namespaces. I've since noticed several cases of it triggering on [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]] (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog?wpSearchUser=&wpSearchPeriodStart=&wpSearchPeriodEnd=&wpSearchTitle=Wikipedia%3ASandbox&wpSearchImpact=0&wpSearchAction=any&wpSearchActionTaken=&wpSearchFilter=135 here]). I'm thinking this filter should be excluded from sandboxes (like filter 1,233), since I really wouldn't be worried about repeating characters in sandboxes. —&nbsp;[[User:MRD2014|<b style="color:purple">MRD2014</b>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:MRD2014|<b style="color:red">talk</b>]]) 21:39, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

:{{done}}. Over a certain page size, most of the hits in the sandbox look more disruptive than not, so I only excluded matches under 64k in size. The exemption also doesn't apply to the Zalgo portion of the filter. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan|talk]]) 22:23, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
