Proposal to apply some of my suggestions to some abuse filters
editThere are two cases of some identical abuse filters, some of which I would like to propose my suggestions for them:
- The spambot filters are identical, but filter 104 should also disallow spambot accounts to allow anti-vandalism patrollers to report them more easily, and 164 should either be disabled or even deleted (what's the added benefit of using a private filter to only disallow registered spambots?):
- Special:AbuseFilter/104
- Special:AbuseFilter/164
- User/user talk page blanking filters. They do the same thing, but 362 would have also prevented Special:AbuseLog/3045702. Do we also need filter 35 to warn then block autopromote? Disallowing would have the same effect, as users should not blank user and user talk pages:
- Special:AbuseFilter/35
- Special:AbuseFilter/362
Also, for 104 we should opt-out Meta itself using wiki_name != "metawiki"
because private filter 121 blocks the spambots locally. Thank you. Codename Noreste (talk) 00:18, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
