This filter currently catches additions containing <code><nowiki>file://</nowiki></code>, often people trying to link a file from their computer in a page, like for example [[Special:AbuseLog/2672144|here]]. I was thinking that instead of merely logging it, it would be more helpful both for the projects and the people trying to add files this way, to trigger a warning explaining them what they're trying to do is not possible (and how to properly upload files). --[[User:KonstantinaG07|KonstantinaG07]] ([[User talk:KonstantinaG07|talk]]) 13:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC) |

:@[[User:KonstantinaG07|KonstantinaG07]] we could set it to warn, however a custom warning won't work well because it wouldn't be translated to the hundreds of languages - meaning the contributor would get [[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning]].

Maybe someone could have a look whether [[Meta:Requests for comment/Meta admin ~riley is abusing power]] and [[Meta:Requests for comment/Admin Billinghurst is abusing power - limiting editing my userpage for no reason]] could be closed. I think they can be, they are not active anymore and really never have attracted many comments. I have commented on the former to understand what the issue actually is supposed to be, but I failed to understand it. Hence I'm not closing them myself. But it seems a bit stupid for these two admins to have "open" RFCs with their name in them when nobody except the opener of the RFC is thinking that they are "abusing power". --<small>[[User:MF-Warburg|MF-W]]</small> 19:12, 7 June 2020 (UTC) |

Regarding global filter 241[edit]
This filter currently catches additions containing file://
, often people trying to link a file from their computer in a page, like for example here. I was thinking that instead of merely logging it, it would be more helpful both for the projects and the people trying to add files this way, to trigger a warning explaining them what they're trying to do is not possible (and how to properly upload files). --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 13:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- @KonstantinaG07 we could set it to warn, however a custom warning won't work well because it wouldn't be translated to the hundreds of languages - meaning the contributor would get MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning. Would that be better or worse? — xaosflux Talk 14:10, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, right, I had a custom one in mind but forgot translations are an issue here. I am now also not sure if it would be better or not. The ideal would be if these custom warnings were translatable of course. KonstantinaG07 (talk) 14:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
