Edit filter configuration

Prevents all-caps comments in AFTv5.

Disabling. Why is it necessary to disallow shouting? It may be impolite but it's not all in bad faith. Plus there's the potential for FPs such as all-caps abbreviations. - KoH

   

Reenable with disallow off. - KoH

Enabled this filter with only an auto-flag action, to test that feature on production. All this does is indicate to editors that there could be an issue with this post, as is often the case with people who type their entire comments in all-caps. - Fabrice Florin

Changed the setting of this feedback filter to be included in the 'Feedback' filter group, which was recently implemented by Werdna (Andrew Garrett) to separate edit filter actions from feedback filter actions,so that feedback filters don't impact condition limits for edit filters.  - Fabrice Florin - May 17, 2012

Dropped the action check, as the group setting makes it unnecessary. -Rsterbin

Dropped the warning filter, which is not appropriate for feedback filters (until Werdna revises the tool). Only kept auto-flag for now, because it is unfair to reject someone's post just because they are shouting. Auto-flag should suffice to warn editors of possible abuse. -- Fabrice Florin, June 6, 2012.

Disabling - too many false positives. Oliver Keyes, July 21, 2012

New filter. Moved from filter 460. -Sole Soul

Hit the >5% of actions by itself, and all edits were garbage or vandalism. -- Oliver Keyes (WMF)

Upped to 10 chars to try and reduce the number of hits. Short-term, experimental fix :). -- Oliver Keyes (WMF)

The above action quickly disabled the filter. After my call with Oliver, I realized that upping the number of chars would INCREASE the number of hits even more, so I am now lowering the number of chars down to 3, to see if that solves the issue. Short-term, experimental fix :). -- Fabrice Florin (WMF)

Re-enabling this filter, now that we have deployed a fix to prevent from being disabled after only a few posts. Hopefully it will work better now. I am setting it up for posts that are shorter than 5 characters, as initially intended by Sole Soul. Fingers crossed. -- Fabrice Florin

This filter was automatically disabled with a setting of 5 characters or less, so I am lowering that threshold to disallow posts that have 4 characters or less, to see if it works. -- Fabrice

This filter was automatically disabled with a setting of 4 characters or less, so I am lowering that threshold to disallow posts that have 3 characters or less, to see if it works. -- Fabrice

This filter was automatically disabled with a setting of 3 characters or less, so I am lowering that threshold to disallow posts that have 2 characters or less, to see if it works. -- Fabrice Florin

To enable filtering for very short posts of 10 characters or less, we have now made a change to the Abuse filter extension to increase the threshold that disables filters if they exceed  5% of total actions, raising it to 10% (but only for filters that are in the feedback group, leaving other filters untouched).  To test that this change is working as intended, I will start by disallowing posts with 10 characters or less. If that works and the filter is not disabled, then it means that our change did the job. If the filter is disabled at 10 characters, then I will go down to 9 characters or less, then 8 characters or less, until we reach a stable state. Fingers crossed .... -- Fabrice Florin Oct. 26, 2012

This filter was automatically disabled at 10 characters over the weekend, even though we increased the limit to 10% of feedback actions  ('matching more than 10.00% of actions'), so I am trying it out again with 9 characters -- Fabrice Florin - Oct. 29, 2012

Auto-disabled at 9 characters as well, testing 8. -mlitn

Auto-disabled a couple hours later at 8 characters, so I am trying it out again with 7 characters -- Fabrice Florin - Oct. 29, 2012

Auto-disabled at 7 characters as well, testing 6. -mlitn
