Filter suggestion

Perhaps it is possible to have a filter prevent that sources are given as links to google - google itself is never a source. Kind regards, Lymantria (talk) 12:10, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Tested in Special:AbuseFilter/81. -- RE rillke questions? 22:10, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Prevents me blanking a section

The filter should not be preventing me from blanking a section. A warning might be OK, but simply assuming that section blanking is vandalism is just silly. I am unable to make a simple correction. I want to improve Commons, but I can't. Oh well. -Pete F (talk) 04:39, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

File:Päikesekell.IMG 0848.jpg

In File:Päikesekell.IMG 0848.jpg the filter blocks my attempts to add the parameter 1=ee to the Wiki Loves Monuments template claiming the edit is unconstructive. Spaces and blank lines do not help.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:32, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Renaming: Wilhelm Busch (priest) --> Wilhelm Busch (pastor)

As the conclusion of discussion on WP was that this renaming should take place, pls. keep Wilhem Busch (pastor) and remove Wilhelm Busch (priest) entries. Thanx --Stephfo (talk) 12:02, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Would you please so kind and explain the relationship between Abuse filter and your request. Additionally we have a community, too. You should announce this at least in the appropriate category-talk. -- RE rillke questions? 20:37, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Didn't make this filter. You may try to insert spaces or change "fuck" to lower case. But in general I would not switch it off. Ask User:The Evil IP address for more information. -- RE rillke questions? 21:50, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Do not blank the page and please drop a note at Commons:Categories for discussion by clicking "Nominate category for discussion" in your toolbox(sidebar) since this will affect lots of pages. If there is no oppose, replace the redirect with the new contents. Thank you. -- RE rillke questions? 09:39, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

This has been taken up on the OTRS noticeboard, as an OTRS verification relates to this image I suggest any discussion stays there. --Fæ (talk) 07:51, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

What's your problem with File:Untermhaus, Friedhof.JPG ? -- RE rillke questions? 20:00, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

He has no problems with this file, but with me allover the Wikipedia, sorry! --Christine Türpitz (talk) 18:41, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Erroneous blocks

Abuse filter should not be used for access control in trivial cases. If you want access control in specific namespaces use an extension that implements this in a dependable and fairly uniform way, do not use the abuse filter as a hackish workaround. People will be logged out, people will edit – especially in their own user space, accept it! Jeblad (talk) 10:42, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Weitere Stammtischaussagen und Allgemeinposten werden nicht zur Besserung beitragen. -- RE rillke questions? 12:04, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
