- NDS (filter log) (user filter log)
- Description
- I was reorganizing NDS into sections, as the disambig page is currently not sectioned nor is it alphasorted. Obviously there is no lead section on a disambig page, the entire page is not an intro section

- Probably easiest to do this by checking for
{{Disambiguation
. Nobody (talk) 05:13, 22 August 2024 (UTC)- There are multiple disambiguation notice templates, and redirects to them. ie. {{letter–number combination disambiguation}} / {{numberdis}} / {{geodis}} / {{Dab}} / {{disambig}} / ... shown at Category:Disambiguation message boxes -- 64.229.88.34 (talk) 07:41, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- It may make the most sense, from the benefit/cost prospective, to list the more common ones and ignore the less common ones. Animal lover |666| 07:45, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- I think it's possible to search for hidden cats so looking for Category:All article disambiguation pages should work. Nobody (talk) 08:00, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

- Description
- Hello,
I recently attempted to make an edit to a Wikipedia article, but my edit was flagged by the edit filter, and I was unable to save it. I believe this is a false positive, as my edit was in good faith and aligned with Wikipedia's guidelines.
The edit involved adding factual information with proper citations, and I was not adding any promotional content or making any edits that should have triggered the filter.
Could you please review this and advise on how I can proceed with my edit?
Thank you for your assistance.
