EFPP-Helper makes it easier to respond to false positives from the edit filter.

Each edit filter log entry (e.g. Special:AbuseLog/31476050) will have some additional information about the page history. If it looks like the edit has never been saved successfully, there will usually be a "Make edit" option.[a] This will take you to the edit form, where you can make any needed fixes. The edit summary will properly credit the user.

The server will be told to[b] attempt a three-way merge with any later edits to the page. If this fails, you will get an edit conflict and have to resolve the problem yourself. Consider enabling the "Paragraph-based edit conflict" beta feature in your preferences.

Actions other than edit (e.g. move, createaccount) are not supported.

Installation

[edit]

Add the following line to your common.js:

mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=User:Suffusion_of_Yellow/effp-helper.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); // Backlink: [[User:Suffusion of Yellow/effp-helper.js]]

Options

[edit]

By default, the "Make edit" takes you to the "Show changes" view. If you'd rather go straight to "Show preview", add this to your common.js:

window.effpPreviewOnFirstClick = true;

If you want to test any new updates to EFFP-helper before they go live, add this:

window.effpUseDev = true;

An attempt will be made to replace some occurrences of ~~~, ~~~~, and ~~~~ with the signature and timestamp corresponding to this attempted edit, as opposed to your signature and the current time. This is somewhat experimental, so please review the changes carefully.
No conflict
This edit will likely merge successfully, even if there are later edits to the page.
Edit conflict
This edit is unlikely to merge successfully, and will cause an edit conflict. Consider enabling the "Paragraph-based edit conflict" beta feature in your preferences.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Under "More" in Vector, under "Page tools" in Timeless, and at the top of the page in MonoBook
  2. ^ The hidden wpEdittime, wpStarttime, and EditRevid inputs will be adjusted, as if you had opened the edit form at the time the log hit
