Comments: Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. Looks like a false positive. Nobody (talk) 11:47, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]; Pinned – This thread has been pinned and will not be archived until this template has been removed. Looks can be deceiving. Regardless, this filter is reporting too frequently to AIV and I think this specific type of match would be better done as a tag. I'm working on this.

nd @JonathanBuilding: You can use your userspace sandbox, located at User:JonathanBuilding/sandbox. Please avoid making test edits in article space.

@Aydoh8: I don't think that's correct. They filled out this form incorrectly, but if you look at their filter log you can see that they were in fact editing their userspace sandbox. jlwoodwa (talk) 06:02, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, I thought they were editing the literal article space page "Jonathan Building's Sandbox". Aydo h8^{[what have I done now?]} 06:10, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Report fixed – Another user has fixed the page title in this report. Annh07 (talk) 06:15, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this meets the notability requirements anyways. beef [talk] 07:08, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also in agreement, I'm not sure there's much point in creating an article for the subject at all, considering WP:1E, and that the article subject isn't very explicitly known for the described operation anyways. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 14:13, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Draft:DankPods (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: This is an article about DankPods, and he has many “catch phrases”

I was trying to add “ There are also many phrases such as borkus, and chungus, which do not mean anything in themselves, but all serve a greater meaning, which is the adjective form of the aforementioned noun nugget.

It flagged this as unconstructive

By the way, the filter that actually disallowed you on Draft:Cartison was filter 614, which was triggered by the word "UwU". Try leaving that word out. Duckmather (talk) 21:09, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
