Notes:	Original from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/225) 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.

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?
