Gazelle (recycling company) (filter log)

Description

While performing Genfixes, which includes TemplateRedirects, it triggered the filter multiple times. See its filter log. While edit was not disallowed, the filter should be changed to not trigger template redirect cases. Thanks!

Comments

Given that the filter is public, it should be safe to say that the word "promotional" should be added to filter 878. Animal lover |666| 16:14, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding !contains_any(user_groups, "extendedconfirmed", "sysop", "bot") might make more sense in this case. Nobody (talk) 17:52, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of this, we should monitor removal of Template:promotional and not using this template to replace its redirect. Animal lover |666| 19:35, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This makes the most sense I believe ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 05:27, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, given the other built-in conditions, it would appear that it's intentional that you need an editing level higher than Autoconfirmed to not get caught by this filter. Animal lover |666| 14:53, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the filter's name starting with New user, I have no idea why this filter is intended for users with less than 500 edits despite the title. Perhaps we could replace only with !("confirmed" in user_groups)? That user group is also implied in the bot user group. Codename Noreste (talk) 05:40, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Replaced the edit count check with a XCON check; no opinion on if it should be reduced to confirmed, but this fixes the immediate issue. I've also added {{Promotional}}, but that's not related to this error. – charlotte ^👸🎄 00:58, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Description: The information was incorrect, so I changed it. Nataliia Lysenko is Ukrainian and French actress, not Russian.

Added the information about her roles in the theatres. Added her nationality and place of living. ^[1] ^[2]

Corrected Ukrainian names of the people and places according to the transliteration from Ukrainian to English. That was transliterated incorrectly. ^[3] ^[4]

Didn't changed Russian names, those are transliterated correctly.

Added links and templates to the corresponding wiki-pages.
