Viewing filter 959: New users breaking links or templates in articles

Filter parameters

Filter ID:	959
Description: (publicly viewable)
Filter hits:	82 hits
Conditions: (documentation)	user_editcount < 50 & page_namespace == 0 & ( stringy := "\\|.="; linkregex := "\[\[[^\n\]]\]\]"; removed_lines rlike stringy & (/* Are they editing a template parameter? / nlinks := rcount (linkregex, added_lines); / number of wikilinks / nlinks != count ("[[", added_lines) \| nlinks != count ("]]", added_lines) ) ) user_editcount < 50 & page_namespace == 0 & ( stringy := "\\|.="; linkregex := "\[\[[^\n\]]\]\]"; removed_lines rlike stringy & (/ Are they editing a template parameter? / nlinks := rcount (linkregex, added_lines); / number of wikilinks */ nlinks != count ("[[", added_lines) \| nlinks != count ("]]", added_lines) ) )
Notes:	New user unfamiliarity with wikitext markup leads to edits like [[Special:Diff/879081201]] ([[Special:AbuseFilter/examine/1122726490]]), which are often not fixed for very long periods of time due to the diff not looking that unconstructive. A filter should be able to catch and eventually tag these edits. -Galo 2019.01.22 Fix = / == for conditional [efc918b0] --TNT
