-Creating per RFPP. - KoH
-Not working ... - KoH
-Re-enabling, disallow off. - KoH
-Too many false positives from added_lines in removed_lines. - KoH
-Could it be changed to prevent the creation of "Aaron Blakk"? - \ /
-First, why did you undo my last edit here?  Second, why would you want to prevent the creation of user names that HELP us detect him?  The user names themselves are not offensive, the edits are. - Wknight94
-It was my first edit to the AF, must've inadvertantly done it - sorry. I see your point in re to that, it was only if we were blocking one we may as well block another. - \ /
-Okay, no problem on the inadvertent undo.  Right, I don't think we should be preventing any user name creation.  Like my earlier edit used to say, user name prevention is only when THE USER NAME ITSELF is offensive.  In this case, they're not.  That eliminated the first part of this filter.  The second part is catching general vandalism that should be handled in one of the general vandalism filters, and was catching more non-GT than GT.  That makes this filter mostly pointless so I had disabled entirely.  - Wknight94
-You know, I've actually found this filter to be quite useful, even if much of it is non-GT. There is almost no good reason to add obscenities in all caps. Currently we don't have a filter that checks for this and disallows the action. - KoH
-If it doesn't catch false positives, leave it running.  For supportability, it should probably be merged into 52 though.  (I changed the name here to reflect actual usage). - Wknight94
-No, it's different. This checks not only for edit summaries, but also added content. (A more descriptive title would be "Adding obscenities in all caps," but that would be too obvious. If a vandal saw that in the log, they would know to put the obscenity in lowercase letters.) - KoH
-SUCKS, rearrange. - KoH
-Actually, not common enough to matter, so just alphabetize. - KoH
-Expand. - KoH
-Restrict to main namespace per FP on Jimbo's talk. - KoH
-Some more. - KoH
-Viagra, your mom. - KoH
-Define variable match for increased readability. - KoH
-please urgently fix so that it doesn't match PEACOCK (false positives) - Cen
-Added \b before COCK. - Ruslik
-Added ass with \b's. - KoH
-FP's on GAY. - KoH
-Renamed. - KoH
-No need to be private -Prodego
-Modified "RACIS" to "RACIS(T|M)" per false positive
-+1 --NW
-+1, and change to better title.  --NW
-+1 --NW 11/25
-+2 --NW 11/26
-+2 --NW 11/27
-Extending to user talk, will revert if there are false positives. =TS
-+2 --NW 11/28
-+1 --NW 12/7
-+2 --NW 12/9
-+2 --NW 12/13
-Add \b to FAG for temporary fix (SFAGO) so that a user can create and/or edit an article. Would it be better to instead add & !(added_lines rlike "SFAGO") ? -- Soap
-removed \b to again be able to catch variants -- Soap
-Add FUKERS (but not FUK due to potential false positives) -- Shirik 1 Feb 2010
-Word boundery added to beginning of FAG -- Shirik 5 Mar 2010
-condom -- Soap
-autoconfirmed -> confirmed & autoconfirmed -- Shirik 21 Mar 2010
-false positives -P
-don't disable entirely because of a few fp's, warn for now - KoH
-Adding EFF YOU - Someguy1221
-Added some. made so things like 'PEEENNNISS' would stillmatch - TIm
-Changing to disallow: I reviewed some 100 edits flagged by this, and could find no False P's. --Tim
-Added looser, and Poooop, Tim
-Added AWESOME and SOOO, both things that I think shouldn't even be in the article space. --Tim
-remove FAG due to false positives which appear now and then (it's an acronym) ... previously this filter was warn-only, but now it's disallow -- Soap
-Just had a falsepositive where an IP reverted a user whose name was one of the proscribed strings ("WANKA") and was disallowed because it appeared in the edit summary.  I think targeting the edit summary may be a tad overkill. -v-_-v
-rm AWESOME -- Soap
-adding FAGG (for faggot) back in.  Can't match FAG because it is the name of a company.  -- Soap
-Removing "your mom" section; disallowed by another filter. - Someguy1221
-adding \>ASS, in order to allow editing of [[Liberty Bell]] (it will be present in removed_lines whenever \bA+SS+ is present in added_lines and thus nullifies itself).  Probably temporary.  -- Soap
-is douche commonly spelled without the u? I made it required. -- Soap
-false positive on FUK ( an airport in China) -- Soap
-ASS apparently is an acronym, has caused problems before, will remove for now
-rm GAY, will try for a while -- Soap
-Scunthorpe problem. - KoH
-This will match a page titled "SCUNTHROPE" not "Scunthrope". -Sole Soul
-Added "NAZI" and "JEWS". --Reaper 2012-02-29
-False positive where user is reverting vandal with inappropriate username. - KoH
-Remove SOCK(PUPPET), it is a WP: shortcut. - KoH
-Optimize for conditions, improve regex a little. RF 2010724
-Allow the word SHIITE; additionally, this filter should be hidden. - Od Mishehu
-Public per [[Special:Permalink/784131724#Privacy of general vandalism filters]] and the guideline ~MA
-Stop matching of PEN15 - TV show of that name is causing every hit to be a false positive. -Galo 2019-02-22
-Word boundary before NAZI due to FPs. -Galo 2019-03-01
-Exclude when in refs due to FPs. -G 2019-04-20
-Exempt existing section headers. - KoH 2020-07-09
-Exclude reverts per FP. --Galobtter 06:50 13 Apr 2023
-Add "BUST A NUT" per EFR - EggRoll97 4 Apr 2024
-Adjust regex for WANK; changed to WANK(|A|S|ER|ERS|ING)?\b to handle this false positive:  https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AEdit_filter%2FFalse_positives%2FReports&diff=1258604759&oldid=1258601792 -- Ohnoitsjamie 2024-11-20
