This is truthful information regarding and unfortunate yet formative incident Mr Greenwald suffered in Rio in 2021.

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) 19:26, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Description: Attempting to report a username violation at WP:UAA and WP:AIV, but being blocked by filter 260. Could these edit filters have an exception for WP:UAA and WP:AIV?

Comments: Already done by Codename Noreste. Maybe we could exclude those two pages with !contains_any(page_id, 26204397, 1952670, 11022716) /** [[WP:EF/FP]], [[WP:AIV]] and [[WP:UAA]] **/? Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 22:58, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Codename Noreste Filter 260 already has a line to stop it from blocking edits to this page, perhaps add UAA there too, since the whole point of that page is to report profane usernames? 86.23.109.101 (talk) 23:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I meant to say: modify line 10 of the filter to exclude AIV and UAA. I endorse this. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 23:16, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit was not disallowed and the filter appears to be working properly. The filter does not disallow you, it just warns you when you add links in rapid succession when you hit a rate limit. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 23:01, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Codename Noreste I have reason to believe that Tmofcstanton may be affiliated with the Museum of Flight based on their edits and the fact that their username contains "Tmof", which may be an acronym for "The Museum of Flight". I've asked them about this on their talk page. I don't believe the links are unhelpful, but it's probably worth noting. - ZLEA _T\^C 23:37, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
