Comments: Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. I'm not sure if files are a intended target of filter 231. Nobody (talk) 07:52, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]; (pin removed by EggRoll97) Pinning till an EFM can take a look and see if any changes are needed to the filters. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 14:22, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]; Note: Files don't seem to be the intended target, but this seems like a valid catch. The file doesn't even exist, and even if it did, it's a file name that should have a rename request filed on it to be moved to a more descriptive title. I'm fairly convinced that the way the filter works already (blocking these gibberish file-names) is a more beneficial thing to do than allowing it. --EggRoll97 ^(talk) 23:59, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. I would have reported them but they are already blocked. We might want to make an exception for this page though. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 20:31, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinned – This thread has been pinned and will not be archived until this template has been removed. Pinning until an EFM can take a look at this to see if the filter needs to be changed. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 20:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PharyngealImplosive7, you don't need to pin every request here. An EFM will take a look at this one, but requests don't get archived for a couple of hours depending on what type they are. Philipnelson99 (talk) 21:16, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I didn't know. Thanks for letting me know. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 21:17, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can see the various settings at User:MajavahBot/EFFP_Helper_Configuration. Philipnelson99 (talk) 21:19, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I'll check it out. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 21:22, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyberwolf: How do you know? You aren't an EFH or a sysop and all the filters triggered were private. I wouldn't answer private reports (with no public filters triggered) if you didn't have the rights to see them because an actual FP could be ignored. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 14:23, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat off-topic comment: Me neither, and that's what could lead to users potentially opposing your EFH nomination if you plan to nominate yourself. Trust me, I've learned that the hard way. – 64andtim ^(talk) 15:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PharyngealImplosive7: i see patterns correlating new users with real names (especially Indian names) triggering these but i admit i shouldn’t have marked nd•Cyberwolf•talk? 19:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but maybe just leave a note next time. You never know when someone could be a legitimate editor. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 20:34, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. (automated comment) — MajavahBot (talk · contributions) 10:48, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done – The filter is working properly. wp:NOTWEBHOST — the user essentially tried to submit their resume. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 15:53, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
