Description

It tagged the edit as "Possible self promotion in userspace" when all it was was just an edit to the user's common.js (not self promotion). Edits to users' JavaScript and CSS files should never be tagged as self promotion, as it's extraordinarily unlikely for a user to add promotional text in one of those pages.

Pinned – This thread has been pinned and will not be archived until this template has been removed. I remember there was a time I received the tag "Possible self promotion in userspace" for updating my RedWarn config (diff). I agree that this needs to be fixed.

Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 17:27, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would an EFH or an EFM take a look at this FP before archiving? Thank you. – 64andtim ^(talk) 17:29, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Checking with the edit filter managers to see if changes need to be made. This is a false positive (in terms of it is not self-promotion), but the filter is technically working as intended. I'll send a request to the mailing list with a possible change to add to the filter. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 20:44, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done and a change to the filter may be needed. This might be a rarer case, however it is definietly a false positive. Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 17:25, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Could be fixed as follows, may need a couple end parenthesis on the last line. Any opinions by EFMs on this?

I feel like that would be very narrowly tailored towards what's going on here. However, I do wonder if this is the only template where we might want a giant string of unspaced text. Are there any others we can thing of? — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 00:34, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: @Red-tailed hawk: I can't think of any, but maybe cite templates? EggRoll97 ^(talk) 20:19, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Simpler to just check for added_links; obviously most URLs are "long strings of characters with no spaces". Most links are already covered by the https?:// check, but that doesn't work if the link is from a template. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 03:09, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Influencers Church (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: -Updated name

I have updated the church name from Influencers Church to Futures Church. The church's name has changed.

Updated Locations The listed locations were not updated too. One of the locations did not exist anymore, and some new ones were added.

Value added Also, the old article said nothing about the programs available, the church events and so on, not providing much value to people searching for the brand name. Overall, you can just take a brief look and see how much more valuable this page is now.

Took me hours to finish, please, if anyone could review this false positive, just so I don't lose all these work hours, it would me much appreciated. God Bless
