Edit filters
Overwriting of birth range templates
 | This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
- Task: Warn or disallow when an edit replaces a {{birth based on age as of date}} template with a date or year, without simultaneously adding a URL or reference tag
- Reason: This "based on age" template is a strong indicator that Wikipedia editors have already tried and failed to find an exact, reliably-sourced birth date for a person, and have only been able to confirm a two-year date range. Readers sometimes step in to replace these with a particular year or date, offering no source, often just asking IMDb or Google. An unsourced DOB is obviously against WP:BLPDOB, and a "based on age" template suggests that any added date (even if correct) has not been
widely published by reliable sources

New users commenting out blocks of text
| This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
- Task: If new users add hidden comments to articles (using <-- --> plus !, I can't figure out how to escape it) that encompass large blocks of text, it should be flagged.
- Reason: This is a sneaky way of hiding text without appearing as a removal of content and there are very few valid reasons to do this.

Exclude AFCH edits from filter 1045?
| This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
I recently attempted to decline an AfC draft for copyvio, and part of that involves pasting the URL for the copyvio'd site into the Articles for Creation helper script interface, which adds the url to the AfC submission template. I'm not sure if I just wasn't paying attention or if the AfC helper script somehow hid the warning, but I had to re-fill the form again to get it to get past the warning. (I didn't realize the issue until I then requested {{cv-revdel}}). I understand why the latter would be difficult to exclude from the filter, but I think edits that are already tagged to be using the AfC helper script could be excluded to avoid this confusion, as I don't think this filter could reasonably be triggered while using the script other than this particular circumstance.

Filter that prevents vague edit summaries for redirect creation
- Task: To prevent editors from creating redirects and not mentioning the target in the edit summary (see "Avoid vaguness" in WP:SUMMARYNO)
- Reason: Because people who think they absolutely must type a summary every single time use things like "Create redirect" and suppress the WP:AES even though the AES would be more helpful because it includes the target. This makes it much harder to tell whether a redirect is correct, it needs retargeting, or it needs to go to RfD. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&end=&namespace=all&start=&tagfilter=mw-new-redirect&target=Iljhgtn&offset=20250610122423&limit=500 for a rather extreme example of this. Obviously, sometimes a custom summary might be preferable, but in that case, it should include the target of the redirect, such as this example.

- As much as I dislike vague summaries, I think a filter like this would end up being disruptive. I'd suggest starting a discussion at WP:VPI to discuss requesting potential improvements to MediaWiki itself to encourage better edit summaries. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:06, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Log (or warn) assessing articles as A-class
- Task: Log when the class parameter in a WikiProject template is changed to
A. Perhaps also give a warning that A class should not be added unilaterally (and the highest class that can be added is B). - Reason: Per Wikipedia:Content assessment/A-Class criteria, A class should not be added unilaterally. This is not clear to editors who haven't read the relevant pages and see A as a continuation of the stubstartCB system.

Removal of AI tags
- Task: Log instances where an edit has removed {{AI-generated}} (another filter for {{Db-g15}} and {{Prod llm}} would be desirable as well)
- Reason: Sometimes an editor will quietly remove an AI-generated tag without addressing any of the issues, and it is challenging to keep track of these instances. This was briefly discussed here
- Diffs: [4] [5], can hopefully provide some diffs re deletion tags shortly

- In both examples, there were clear edit summaries regarding removing the tag, and both removals were made by established editors. Would this suggestion address the problems with AI articles, or would it just provide a convenient list of battlegrounds for existing debates regarding LLMs? For the latter, I recommend: Wikipedia talk:Writing articles with large language models Drew Stanley (talk) 23:34, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
- My bad, honestly I got the diffs from someone else and didn't look at them, they said those were ones they remembered most, presumably because it caused disputes. That's pretty rare though. Here's some diffs for what I mean re the above (some are on now-deleted articles, I got these from the archives at WP:AINB): [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18], Special:Contributions/Tired Carrot (WP:AINB#User:Tired Carrot) is what spurred me to finally make this request Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 00:05, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
- A more conservative option would be AI tags removed without edit summaries and/or by users with few edits. I think with this filter, conservative is better, there are a lot of valid reasons to remove AI tags (cleanup being done, no major edits since before 2023, the person who added the tag changing their mind, etc.) Gnomingstuff (talk) 17:53, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
- I believe that @Kowal2701 got those diff links from me. The tag should not have been removed in either of those case, they're both examples of incorrect removals of the tag. And regardless of that, they show what changes a regex for a filter like this needs to match, the motivation for removing them doesn't factor into the regex. ‑‑gurkubondinn 19:22, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
- I've made a filter to try to catch removal of {{AI-generated}}. The optional line can be added to restrict the filter to only edits without summaries, though I'd prefer logging them all. If this is well liked I can write the regex for deLLMPRODing as well.
Filter

equals_to_any(page_namespace, 0) &

action == "edit" &

removed_lines rlike '\{\{\s*[Aa][Ii][-_ ]generated(?:\s*\||\s*\}\})' &
) |
- I would definitely support having something like this for AI cleanup patrol reasons. I've noticed many times, when AI was used to promote a person/company, a UPE will do some minor changes, remove the tag, and get checkuser blocked. See the history of HAUI as an example. InfernoHues (talk) 18:48, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
- I'd like to see this filter be set to 'warn' instead of just 'log'. Specifically, it should give a simple, educational message that says something like "Since March 2026, the use of chatbots, AI, or LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited for most purposes. See WP:NOLLM for more information. Please do not remove the maintenance template until the problem has been resolved." WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:26, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
- one of the problems is that a lot of people think that "i cant see any ai here" is the same as "the problem has been resolved". or other bizarre reasons like "this has been reviewed by npp" or "i clicked all of the links and they worked for me". but i agree with you still, i think the edit filter should be set to "warn" (after letting it run in "log" mode for a while to watch for false positives first). ‑‑gurkubondinn 20:33, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
- I don't really like the idea of warning people who have a high chance of not having done anything wrong (legitimate tag removals). If logging goes well, we can probably change to tagging, so that removals are more visible. InfernoHues (talk) 20:38, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

Possible caste-related edits by non-extended-confirmed users
- Task: Tag all edits that add (or use edit summaries containing) words related to caste in South Asia. It would apply to edits by non-extended-confirmed users on mainspace pages.
- Reason: WP:CT/CASTE places all caste-related topics under the extended-confirmed restriction. WP:CT/CASTE violations are often not caught, and they're often WP:BLP violations as well.
- Diffs: [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40]
- The following case-insensitive regex has some basic/general caste terms. I'm still working on a regex that includes a bunch of more specific castes, but I think this would be a good start and would catch a high proportion of caste-related edits. I've tried to be relatively conservative and exclude anything that's common as a surname or that's likely to get a lot of false positives for other reasons.

- +1 with above. Zalaraz (talk) 18:07, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
- Support This is useful per Cadddr. If you can, alphabetize the lists For the longer list: chenchu (see Kannappa) and choda, chudasama (see Kathi people). This list could also include gazetteers and colonialists like James Tod which are used, usually by editors without EC, for caste-related edits (reasoning here). Drew Stanley (talk) 23:29, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
- I've also seen "antal" Drew Stanley (talk) 03:41, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
- This seems like it might be a good tagging filter, but I think we're going to need a much longer list of castes and a list of common sources used for these edits, especially castes or sources that are commonly used in problematic edits or by LTAs. More example diffs would also be very helpful. Note that some expressions like "obc" might not be usable in a filter due to false positives, but perhaps those might be usable in a more complex expression looking for specific phrases. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:37, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm still working here on making a longer list of castes, though it'll be a little while before it's ready. My current process is to search Wikipedia for the term to see if there's a significant number of false positives. For ones with false positives, I'm adding it to a more complex regex, which is currently of the form
\b(CASTE LIST HERE...)(s\b|[\s-]+(community|communities|tribe|person|people|class|cast|population|clan|tribe|man|woman|men|women|group|origin|descent|reservation|quota)). - The reason I started by proposing the short, general list is that to my surprise, the vast majority of the diffs I found would be caught by the short list. But it's been a little harder than I expected to find diffs, so that might just be a property of the diffs I've found so far. Is there an easy way to just search through all recent edit summaries for phrases like "WP:CT/CASTE", "WP:CT/SASG", or "WP:ECRCASTE"?
- I included "OBC" initially because when I searched for it, there were fewer false positives than I expected. Though as I'm looking at it again, maybe it's still too many. It looks like the plural ("obcs") has basically no false positives. Cadddr (talk) 21:35, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
- And yeah, the suggestion by you and Drew Stanley to include sources too seems like a good one. I don't know much about that angle, though. Cadddr (talk) 21:41, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

- The only term here I'm not sure about is "harizan" – @Cadddr, could you please explain that one? Is it a common misspelling of "harijan"? The rest seem appropriate to include, though I think Drew is correct that the list could be much longer. Toadspike [Talk] 20:48, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
- @Toadspike I threw in "harizan" because I saw that misspelling being used somewhere. (And I figured it makes sense theoretically for "z" and "j" to get mixed up, since Urdu speakers distinguish those two phonemes but Hindi speakers generally don't.) I'm not sure how common the misspelling is. Cadddr (talk) 21:39, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
- We could condense the suggested regex to:
\b((sub)?caste|j[aā]ti|bra(hm|mh?)[ia]n|ka?(sh|ṣ|s)a?r?tt?riya|vai(sh|ṣ|s)ya|(ś|s|sh)[ūu]dra|dalit|harijan|ajlaf|jat|rajput)s?. I also searched up "harizan" on wikipedia and it doesn't seem to refer to the caste and seems to be a name, so I haven't included it. Others are right that this is a pretty small limited set of words and that it should be expanded – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 18:56, 10 June 2026 (UTC)- One small thing: it was intentional that I included "Brahmans" plural (since that pretty much has to refer to Brahmins) but not the singular "Brahman", which is ambiguous and more often refers to the Hindu metaphysical concept of Brahman (see Brahman § Comparison of Brahma, Brahman, Brahmin and Brahmanas). Cadddr (talk) 19:42, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
- I think then we could change
bra(hm|mh?)[ia]ntobra(hm|mh?)inand just addbrahmansat the end. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 19:46, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

- Apologies for the very delayed response, I was traveling with family and had both little time and poor access to a stable internet connection. If I recall correctly, I may have been confused on what the status of the page was given its contested notability. One user had it tagged, then untagged, then tagged again for notability, and at that point it seemed like it had a decent number of 3rd-party sources that mentioned it. I also checked for copyvio of course, and after all was said and done I decided to mark it as reviewed. In my mind, if it ultimately ended up being decided as having insufficient notability, the article would be nominated for deletion anyways. DoO2 15:16, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Howdy! I've been a PCR and rollbacker for 4(ish) years now, and I've always been interested in helping with the backlog. I have over sixteen thousand edits to Wikipedia, spread out across all different spaces, and have always tried to be a constructive editor and productive community member. I've patrolled the recent changes and random pages tabs before, both in attempts to manage nonconstructive edits, and after nearly a half decade of doing so, I think I've gotten used to what poorer quality articles look like! :) Cheers, atque supra!

Hi, I'd like to request New page reviewer rights. I did have temporary New page reviewer rights about 4 months ago but I went on a break and those rights expired. I used Twinkle for tagging. I have participated in serval AfDs in the last couple weeks. I have just over 5100 edits on my account. I would like to help in reducing the backlog, and help new users improve their pages.

I am requesting this permission because I want to help reduce the page review backlog and help make sure that newly created pages that are of good quality are reviewed quickly. A year ago I was temporarily given the page reviewer right for a month and I reviewed 34 pages, with 33 still existing today and only 1 being deleted. Since then I have had additional experience, including in articles for deletion. Cyrobyte (talk) 22:05, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

My trial for NPP recently expired on June 12th and I would like to have the permission extended to no longer be on a trial basis. I enjoyed helping with the backlog and improving newly made pages and then reviewing them. I even earned a Barnstar for participating in the May 2026 NPP backlog drive (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Gjb0zWxOb&oldid=1359026794) and would like to continue to alleviate the backlog year round.

OK, I've reviewed what I was told at my last request. I now have over 200 mainspace edits. I've tried singing up to CVU/A, and now I'm just waiting. Requesting rollback permissions to try AntiVandal, Interceptor, and Huggle. And everything else. Patrolling RecentChanges seems to be the only thing I do nowadays, and I would like rollback to be able to fight vandals better. AZenit3 [Chat?-stuff I've done] 01:47, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I have rollback in my account at Simple Wikipedia. Having tried this evening to counter the activities of ~2026-33439-05 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), I think it would be useful to have rollback here too. I work almost exclusively on cricket articles at present, and it is a subject that frequently attracts vandals. Thanks. Jack (talk) 19:28, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have been doing RC patrol for the last while, and would like rollback to be able to more efficiently fight vandalism.

Hello! I'd like rollback if I ever come across vandalism (I see some as a PCR). I check recent changes almost every day, but mostly all the cases of vandalism get reverted by capable rollbakcers. As far as I can tell, this is the best way (and I think you need this for interceptor, which really seems to make it better). Thanks!

I've been patrolling recent changes frequently. While my account is still somewhat new (and I took a short break last week), I do have 566 edits so far - mainly involving reverting vandalism (but I have also wrote new articles, reported users, participated in afd, and improved articles). I always warn users after I revert their edits. Ever since I have gained access to Twinkle, it has made patrolling so much easier. I would like rollback permissions to be able to use the antivandal and interceptor tools too. Those tools would make reverting much more efficent. FlammablePizza (talk) 19:29, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

I've been patrolling Special:RecentChanges for a couple months now. I consistently notify editors after reverting their edits (for vandalism or otherwise). Rollback permissions would be useful as I would no longer have edit conflicts with vandals and I could use tools such as Interceptor. Streetr4 (talk) 05:23, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

I've been patrolling recent changes for a little while now, and would love to start using Interceptor to do so more effectively. I believe I have around 550 edits, and have been consistently active for a few months (though had this account for around two years). Kind regards, End (talk) 00:18, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

I am requesting the rollback permission to assist with combating vandalism and other clearly disruptive edits. I regularly monitor recent changes and have experience reverting vandalism using existing tools. Granting rollback would allow me to revert obvious vandalism more efficiently and focus more time on patrolling and maintaining article quality. I understand that rollback is intended only for reverting clear cases of vandalism, spam, test edits, and other uncontroversial disruptive changes. I will use the tool carefully and in accordance with local policies and guidelines. Additionally, I have been using Twinkle for over a year to assist with reverting vandalism, warning disruptive users, and performing other maintenance tasks. Through this experience, I have become familiar with Wikipedia's anti-vandalism processes and the appropriate circumstances for reverting edits. I believe the rollback tool would help me carry out these tasks more efficiently. UNIDRAGON 734 (talk) 05:08, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello there, I am familiar with the built-in rollback of redwarn/UV and Twinkle, and consistently make sure to appropriately template editors when reverting or correcting their edits; though at the moment my patrolling is more often on related changes pages than Special:RecentChanges. I want to try my hand at more "serious" AV work, and for that the ability to use the MediaWiki rollback would be handy, also allowing me to use nice tools which require the built-in version such as WP:WikiShield.

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I've learned a lot during these times, and is able to deal with vandalism properly, although sometimes I make mistakes when determining whether the vandal should be warned or reported. Rollback will enable me to revert faster than using twinkle, and to try out tools such as Interceptor and Huggle. -- Least Action (talk) 03:36, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi. I've been reviewing drafts at AfC, COI requests and NPP for quite a while now. Might consider trialing Huggle in the medium term as part of my modest toolbox. Thanks :) PK650 (talk) 06:36, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I am requesting rollback rights in order to combat vandalism more easily, particularly on recent changes, which I have been patrolling for a while. I have read and understood WP:Vandalism, and aim to follow all of its guidelines. Every nonconstructive edit I have reverted (mainly via Twinkle), I have added a user warning to the editor's talk page. Axolitl (talk | contribs) 19:50, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
