On the other hand, I will label all filters set to "disallow" as 'vandalism' or a particular type thereof, since the filter action is a clear sign that at least the edit filter managers have decided that seeking a dialog with the offending editor is no longer an option. @@ -167,63 +168,76 @@ Examples: 154 "Macedonia naming conflict 2"; 19 "Replacement of "partition of In ## Disruptive editing which is not outright vandalism 'copyright violation' - Def: - Examples + Def: Filters targeting potential copyright violations: e.g. images without license information, .. + Examples: 798 "Possible copyvio for image upload"; 278 "Possible copyright violations" -'guideline_vio' - Def: - Examples 'bad_style' - Def: - Examples + Def: Filters targeting edits deviating from what is percieved a good encyclopedic style (def?) + Examples: 899 "Adding "The Sun" or "Dailystar" to BLPs" (presumably, bc they are unreliable sources;); 491 "Edits ending with emoticons or !"; 253 "Signing a non-discussion page" 'lazyness' - Def: - Examples + Def: Slacking on orthography norms (this is something that shouldn't be handled by filters, according to guidelines); smth else? + Examples: 18 "Test type edits from clicking on edit bar" (not quite sure why I have labeled this 'lazyness'); 292 "Repeating characters in edit summary"; 432 "Starting new line with lowercase letters" 'edit_warring' - Def: - Examples + Def: Filters targeting edits that revert each other + Examples: 622 "Genre edit-warring"; 419 "User removing himself from AIV" (first labeling, I would actually simply label this 'vandalism' upon second inspection) 'wiki_policy' - Def: - Examples + Def: Filters target edits violating Wikipedia's policies + Examples: 930 "Prevent indexing userspaces by newer users"; 272 "Page author removing CSD tags" +'guideline_vio' + Def: Filters target edits violating Wikipedia's guidelines %TODO do we need this one and the previous?
