Description: I was trying to clarify my question, by replacing the current post (under the header), as follows:

Btw, although the variable $a$ in a Taylor series, is universally quantified, my question in the header allows $a$ to be some constant (and also allows $a$ to be existentially quantified).

Additionally, does this kind of conversion, of $x$ into $(x-a),$ as made in the case of Maclaurin/Taylor series (or in any analogous case the header is asking about), have an accepted name, implying the conversion of $x$ into $(x-a)?$

Date and time: 08:27, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Comments: Done and a change to the filter may be needed. I don't think the use of Btw (initialism from by the way) is a problem on non-article pages.

Comments: Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. The regex can be fixed using a word boundary: \bl\s*bozo. – Codename Noreste (talk) 02:37, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Codename Noreste: I'm not sure that it was the term "bozo" which triggered the filter, because I was able to make a test edit to add that term using a non-AC account. Java Hurricane 11:09, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

After some debugging, it tripped on ...lazar Mihal Bozo, whereas itself tripped on l Bozo(without a space, and the letter before it was the word "a"). Codename Noreste (talk) 16:34, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Done and a change to the filter may be needed. Given this has happened several times now, I think a change could be worth it. Nobody (talk) 07:53, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps an exception to that phrase/album name only? Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 14:51, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(automated comment) — MajavahBot (talk · contributions) 19:00, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]; Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. Can't really add the changes, since they've already modified it further, but it shouldn't have been hit in the first place. Nobody (talk) 05:27, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
