Please sync with sandbox (permalink, diff). Discussed at WP:EFN#Easier reporting of false positives. Please do not make any changes to MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed yet, that can come later. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:29, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please sync the sandbox, which adds a line break that fixes Linter errors at pages like MediaWiki talk:Abusefilter-warning-empty-edit-request. At that page, a div tag was being opened at the end of a line that began with an asterisk, which causes trouble. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:18, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please change:

{{FULLPAGENAME}}

to

{{#ifeq:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|Special:CreateAccount|Special:UserLogin|{{FULLPAGENAME}}

We're seeing an edge case on WP:EFFP with account creations that are disallowed by a filter. While the user is browsing Special:CreateAccount at the time of the attempted account creation, the relevant log is at Special:UserLogin. This was recently floated at WP:EFN as a band-aid, and I think it makes to implement this pending broader discussion on whether we want to substantially rearrange the reporting flow for these sorts of disallows. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:03, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What actual changes would this make? (Not familiar with this specific wikitext) - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 02:31, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's a improvement. See also Special:Diff/1166047121. This will hide the button by default when filter trips on Special:CreateAccount, unless overridden by fplink=yes, in which case (if the above patch is also applied} at least the link will point to Special:UserLogin.

Done can you please verify this is working correctly? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:14, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Restyling edit filter warnings to look okay with the Codex design style

Codex now includes its own icons and background whenever an abuse filter message is shown, so having it is a little redundant. I do not know if there is a way to turn off the Codex warning icons in all circumstances, s instead I am trying to come up with styling that works with the new Codex design system. See {{edit filter warning/sandbox}} for some of the work I have been doing (just right now).

There definitely are going to need to be more changes, but you can see the {{edit filter warning/testcases}} (I used {{cdx-message}} in order to simulate what the message looks like inside of a Codex box, but it is not a perfect 1:1 fit). Aasim (話す（はなす）) 19:05, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Protected edit request on 14 October 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the fully protected template at Template:Edit filter warning.
(edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to fully protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.
