EFPP-Helper makes it easier to respond to false positives from the edit filter.
Each edit filter log entry (e.g. Special:AbuseLog/31476050) will have some additional information about the page history. If it looks like the edit has never been saved successfully, there will usually be a "Make edit" option.[a] This will take you to the edit form, where you can make any needed fixes. The edit summary will properly credit the user.
The server will be told to[b] attempt a three-way merge with any later edits to the page. If this fails, you will get an edit conflict and have to resolve the problem yourself. Consider enabling the "Paragraph-based edit conflict" beta feature in your preferences.
Actions other than edit
(e.g. move
, createaccount
) are not supported.
Add the following line to your common.js:
mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=User:Suffusion_of_Yellow/effp-helper.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); // Backlink: [[User:Suffusion of Yellow/effp-helper.js]]
By default, the "Make edit" takes you to the "Show changes" view. If you'd rather go straight to "Show preview", add this to your common.js:
window.effpPreviewOnFirstClick = true;
If you want to test any new updates to EFFP-helper before they go live, add this:
window.effpUseDev = true;
