Global filter to track phab:T287936

Moved from User talk:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh

Hey, I see you're active in edit filters. Would you be willing to add a global filter similar to Special:AbuseFilter/192 to help track phab:T287936. It'd be sufficient to look for </cite></ref> in new articles. Examples (of removal of the junk that was added by the translation tool): https://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/7477238 or https://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/7458283. But this is pretty much the case with any translation containing repeated references. Thanks, pon_or (talk) 17:43, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

@Ponor: I see there are tens of thousands of such instances across wikis. Could you check a few of them at random to see if there are any potential false positives we'd need to be aware of? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 18:41, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

I've checked about 20 random pages and found no false positives. They all had a "Content translation/V2" tag. You could probably use & !added_lines contains 'cx-segment' as an additional condition, since that's already covered by #192. Global Search only finds pages that haven't been fixed, so I thought a tracking filter would be more useful. We've been fixing ref errors like https://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Permalink/7458281?uselang=en for years. Running the filter for a few months should be enough to gauge the scale of the problem and help convince someone somewhere to take a look at this. pon_or (talk) 19:30, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Do you have an idea how common this is? I’m trying to avoid adding more noise to the global filter logs. -- XXBlackburnXx (talk) 19:32, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

In my experience, it's pretty much every page creation using Content translation/V2. I do not know how many pages a day that is, but it should be similar to #192? That number is why I'd like to have this global filter enabled, say for a few months. Are ‎<cite>...‎</cite> even legal in wikitext? pon_or (talk) 20:07, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

@Ponor: Special:AbuseFilter/401; let's see how it goes. If it turns out to be too noisy and starts cluttering the global logs, I may need to disable it again though. -- XXBlackburnXx (talk) 20:37, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you very much! If you see too many hits from only a few wikis, maybe you can try excluding those wikis first. Ten samples per wiki should be more than enough. Looks like hawiki might be the first to go: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchFilter=401 pon_or (talk) 21:00, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

A five year old phab ticket that is unclaimed - are you going to work on patches? — xaosflux ^Talk 21:26, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

? pon_or (talk) 21:39, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

You want a filter to track something because of a phab ticket, but that ticket is old and no one is working on it. Do you intend to work on the ticket yourself? — xaosflux ^Talk 12:49, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

CC to @Ponor. Also, filter 401 was disabled without any explanation, but at least such explanation should have been provided. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 16:55, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Help with MassMessage

I'm looking for help to send a massmessage to Distribution list/Global message delivery next week to announce this upcoming RfC on Commons that may affect all wikis that use images. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:28, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Would a global RFC suffice instead? Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 21:44, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Codename Noreste, I'm not sure - I wrote the RfC to only apply to Commons. I don't think an RfC that only applies to Commons should be a global RfC. Are you suggesting I should rework it to apply to all Wikimedia wikis? How are global RfCs advertised to ensure sufficient participation? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 04:43, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Codename Noreste, I thought about it. I want to do Commons first. It took a lot of time to draft that RfC, trying to aim for a global RfC can easily become perfect is the enemy of good. If successful, a global RfC may be considered.
So, MassMessage. Who can help? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 10:55, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

I can do it. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 11:01, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Codename Noreste, great! Where can we discuss (here or somewhere else?) and how to proceed? What do you need me to do? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 18:25, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
