Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. (automated comment) — MajavahBot (talk · contributions) 06:34, 10 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

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)[reply]

...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.

I'll take a look at this, but I'm not confident it needs to be revised. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 14:58, 28 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
