Description: I changed the bare URL citation to one which is formatted, following the instructions as described on these pages:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bare_URLs

and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_templates

I have not changed the link target page.

Date and time: 21:00, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Comments: Done and a change to the filter may be needed. You appeared to have added a citation but the filter prevented you from doing that; this was a false positive as the filter detected ASCII art even though you have not posted that. --64andtim (talk to me) 21:38, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]; Pinned – This thread has been pinned and will not be archived until this template has been removed. Definitely a false positive. I’m curious what tripped this, so I want an EFM to take a look before archiving. --- 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 22:07, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Looks like it was tripped due to ">>>>" being included, though this wasn't part of the user's edit as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure why that tripped the filter. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 22:38, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@EggRoll97: it might have tripped because the user has added a single space after text in each parameter? Who knows, we might need an EFM to revise. 64andtim (talk to me) 22:43, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't a removed_lines check for the >>>>, which was already present in the paragraph that was edited and so considered part of added_lines. Adding a removed_lines check should fix it --DannyS712 (talk) 00:10, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: 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) 11:01, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]; Note: I can’t see the filter in question, but I doubt this user is the desired target. --- 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 11:47, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done and a change to the filter may be needed. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 21:03, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Considering how few hits filter 52 gets, I think keeping it as is should be fine. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:53, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see no point in changing a filter designed for an LTA because false positives are easier to handle than an LTA. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (he|she|they) 09:55, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn’t the LTA filter that disallowed the edit. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 14:02, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Instead, it was disallowed by a filter that says "edit summary vandalism II" although I can't see the summary itself nor the details of the filter. — 64andtim (chat • see here) 16:28, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: One of your links contained “ ezproxy “, which triggered the filter. Maybe try again but remove this? --- 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 11:15, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. Per Illusion Flame you can work around the filter. I think we could lower the filter to allow users with >100 edits to help prevent this sort of issues. --Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (he|she|they) 09:54, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not an EFM, but this specific case is rare enough to not bother changing the filter IMO. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 02:12, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Or we could exempt autoconfirmed users from the filter. — 64andtim (chat • see here) 04:46, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The filter is preventing you from publishing your edit because of the word "bruv" as part of a quote you've added. --— 64andtim (chat • see here) 19:40, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Checking with the edit filter managers to see if changes need to be made. Pretty sure we could allow certain words in quotes however I feel the odd EFFP report is better than not catching vandalism. Thoughts? --Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (he|she|they) 09:53, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I’m leaning towards just keeping it as is. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 22:38, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
