Description

Edit filter seems to be getting tripped by the fact that the editor's username is in all caps and contains the letters W, A, N, and K, in that order. There should be some allowance in the filter for the editor's own username being in all caps. Edits also seem to have triggered filters 1055 and 1241.

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) 16:31, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could this work by adding a \b at the end? (WANK(A|ER|ING)?\b) Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 21:07, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
