Confusing edit filter result

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out why Special:AbuseFilter/examine/log/17828520 is not a positive match to Special:AbuseFilter/839. This edit was hit by 839 earlier today, but now when I run the examine utility, or the batch test, it doesn't generate a hit. I can't seem to make it hit no matter how I edit the filter in the examine function. Someguy1221 (talk) 23:09, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

@Someguy1221: Strange that loading the filter to test doesn't work, but loading up the batch testing tool and running it against user 82.38.78.143 does flag the edit correctly. Sam Walton (talk) 23:13, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

I gave up on the 'examine' tool some time ago. I figured it was broken as it didn't contain all the fields being tested, as it did before I gave up on it. I've no problem with batch testing, where I also see a hit. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 23:31, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

I think the examine tool also updates after the edit has been made, which isn't very useful... Sam Walton (talk) 23:35, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Some variables are lost after the filter hits. E.g. here when examining the edit you'll notice "edit_delta" is not listed as a "variable generated for this change", so any code that uses "edit_delta" won't work when examining this particular change. I'm not sure why the software was set up like this, perhaps at run-time any unused variables are not stored for performance reasons.

Problem with abuse filter

I don't know whether this is the right place to complain about this, but I have a problem with your edit filter thing: I'm German so I usually start on the german wikipedia. I often click on the "english" version on the left and then, probably 8 out of 10 times, I don't land on the english article but on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter It's pretty annoying, as I always have to go back and try again, sometimes I have to try several times before I can actually see the article. Can anyone tell me why this happens? Thanks :-) -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.187.22.125 (talk) 16:20, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

That's an interesting issue, and I don't appear to be able to reproduce it. Could you provide some examples of pages on which this happens? Sam Walton (talk) 18:10, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

I just tried again and it seems that it only happens when I'm logged in with my german wikiaccount. Also, when I finally get past this filter, I'm never logged in on the english wikipedia. This doesn't happen in other language versions. It really happens on all pages, even the main page... -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.64.29.243 (talk) 18:38, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Can you confirm your username? There's some recent hits on filter 102 which look suspicious, which would prevent your English account being created. The userpage is also title-blacklisted. If that's the one, I'd like some second opinions about why it's blacklisted, but we could probably just temporarily disable the filter. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 18:56, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

an invitation to Edit filter managers

Hi,

This is an invitation to Edit filter managers and patrollers who refer to edit filters from your wiki project to share and know about effective public filters from various wikimedia wiki projects.

It is almost eight years since March 2009, that Edit filters are in use on various Wikimedia wiki projects. At meta we have started a platform page m:Edit filters benefiting to various local Wikiprojects to know good and effective (public) edit filters by sharing of relevant information with rest of wikimedia community. This will help editfilter managers, and there by concerned projects, to benefit from maximising potential of best possible (public) edit filters.

We are keen to have your participation in this collaborative and constructive endeavour and the discussions.
