Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis.

Custom disallow message for filter 319

[edit]

Latest comment: 14 hours ago3 comments3 people in discussion

I would suggest adding a custom disallow message for Special:AbuseFilter/319 because the default message doesn't make any sense, and the new message should look like this:

((abuse filter warning
| action = disallow
| friendly = yes
| text = WikiLearn course pages may only be edited by WikiLearnBot and administrators.
))

WikiLearn course pages may only be edited by WikiLearnBot and administrators.

Any opinions or suggestions? Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 03:39, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

While I think custom messages are a good idea for filters frequently hitting good faith users, I don't think it's needed for a filter with just five filter hits in more than a year. The default message already says "... A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: WikiLearn pages should be edited by WikiLearnBot or admins only" and that should by sufficient in my opinion.

I agree with the above, especially given that most of the standard message will at least be localised even if the filter name is not. ~~~~
