Checking with the edit filter managers to see if changes need to be made. We probably should warn users who try to submit non-English text in any namespace, but absent some specific reason that I'm not thinking of I don't see why this should be disallowed outright. – Taking Out The Trash (talk) 15:27, 12 July 2026 (UTC)
- Ignoring the private filter part of this it seems to be working normally. 1233 is designed to catch
Long string of characters with no punctuation or markup
, and things like 44618742 are indeed what the filter is trying to catch. If an EFM or EFH says the private filter is working correctly, this can probably be closed. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 19:40, 14 July 2026 (UTC)- Except that it's not a "long string of characters containing no punctuation or markup"... it's a message written in Spanish. The filter should only be looking for and catching long strings of random characters containing no punctuation or markup (i.e. gibberish). Good-faith but non-English text != gibberish. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 23:58, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
- Based on a quick skim of the filter I see nothing to determine whether the text is English or not; if I wrote a long run-on sentence in English, it would likely be a filter hit too. Rusty Cat (mobile) (talk) 01:35, 18 July 2026 (UTC)
- ...Which is not a good thing. If we want to have a filter to detect run-on sentences, that should be a separate filter and should be warn-only. A disallow filter like this one should only be looking for strings of random characters that don't actually make any comprehensible words. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 18:12, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

- Talk:John David Norman (filter log) (user filter log)
- Description
- I was asking if an externally linked article meets Wikipedia standards, and pointing out that the linked article contains inaccurate, even easily proven false, statements about the cases it discusses. And furthermore, the article appears to be simply repeating statements contained in another linked article. I wish to know, if the linked article meets Wikipedia standards. I'm not claiming that it doesn't, I'm only asking if it does.

- Draft:Tonk Tonk Freakboo (2027 Memes) (filter log) (user filter log)
- Description
- I was trying to write a page about the character "Tonk Tonk Freakboo" from the shortform video "RANKING 2027 MEMES ‼️👀🤔". This character is popular and an important piece of modern satirical comedy, which the youth have adapted as a popular reaction GIF. I believe it is important for this to have its own page. If you do not believe this to be important enough, I will be willing to make a page dedicated to the video itself and make Tonk Tonk Freakboo a chapter.
