Notes:	Creating as requested by Sole Soul, log only for now. - Someguy1221 Hasn't been tested sufficiently for false positives. Change to warn and tag. - KoH Adding "wuss rock". --Reaper Put \b around cunt, remove suck (we already have a filter for that). - KoH Change back to disallow. Run for over 9 days, 1683 hits, no false positives. - Someguy1221 Use same quote exemption as filter 9. - KoH As a test, remove the edit_delta > 0" condition. Meanwhile, the filter is tag only. -Sole Soul Change to disallow. -Sole Soul Optimize. -Sole Soul Add some bad words, remove others with no hits. Will monitor log for any FPs. -Sole Soul Removal of the word "balls" and renaming the filter. -Sole Soul No need to be private. Sole Soul Fix to avoid false positive of "Teledildonics". Od Mishehu rm "hello" - causing FPs in music-related pages. Also not a bad word. --Reaper 2012-05-05 Use single string. - KoH Wrap both sides of "was here". - KoH Remove mild or ambiguous terms. There is a reason why we have filter 11 for "suck." - KoH Hiding due to potential for abuse. Format and reduce condition usage. -DF Delimit "slut" to allow "Slutsky", at least for now. RF 2015-06-19 Why is there the line ! removed_lines irlike "\w\\?\w" ? Optimize - we can reduce false positives in future. RF 20150817 Remove false positives due to dismbig pages with bad words in their name. Note this test is only carried out if it would otherwise be considered vandalism, and so is rare. RF 20150819 Include the spelling "paedophile" in the words to be caught. --Od Mishehu Remove "awesome" for now. RF 2015-10-29 ! added_lines rlike "\bDick\b\s[A-Z][a-z]" & ... Should exclude FPS for poele called Dick Foo. RF 20151101 Merging in one rule from 285 so it can be disabled. Filter does not need to be private as a general-purpose vandalism filter, methinks. Also increasing edit delta and removing max length of added_lines, those wouldn't seem to help false positives that much. Finally, removing the now-unneeded short-circuiting that was fixed in MediaWiki 1.28. I'm keeping a close eye on the logs ~MA 2016.09.11 Removing "hi", causing false positives and is already covered by Special:AbuseFilter/664 ~MA 2017.01.01 Adding cuck.
