Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives

Edit was not disallowed though a change to the filter may be needed. False positive caused by citation containing the phrase "rich history". Would it be possible to exclude the contents of ref tags from this filter? – jlwoodwa (talk) 02:00, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The exclusion addition would be <\/?ref (to add in cite_exemption_pattern). Also, I am pinging Ahecht as the recent maintainer of filter 1325. Codename Noreste (talk) 20:47, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My only contributions to that filter were the lines to detect emojis. Pinging Queen of Hearts. --Ahecht (TALK

Could an exclusion also be added for cases where an emoji appears in the title of a citation? See 41821254 for example. Ptrnext (talk) 06:15, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description

This was a reply with two new photos and a new hook. I am sorry, I am a newbie and I might have made a mistake with the code. It looked good on the preview.

Done and a change to the filter may be needed. Not sure why that tripped a filter for "Memes and vandalism trends". My guess would be a Scunthorpe problem with one of the URLs but someone with more experience will need to confirm. – Taking Out The Trash (talk) 15:21, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The filter was triggered by the phrase "did you know that". It's a common vandalism trend so I don't think it's necessary to modify the filter. Annh07 (talk) 16:13, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "did you know that" should trigger for did you know nominations. --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 18:35, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
