Please sync the sandbox, which adds a line break that fixes Linter errors at pages like MediaWiki talk:Abusefilter-warning-empty-edit-request. At that page, a div tag was being opened at the end of a line that began with an asterisk, which causes trouble. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:18, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please change:

{{FULLPAGENAME}}

to

{{#ifeq:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|Special:CreateAccount|Special:UserLogin|{{FULLPAGENAME}}

We're seeing an edge case on WP:EFFP with account creations that are disallowed by a filter. While the user is browsing Special:CreateAccount at the time of the attempted account creation, the relevant log is at Special:UserLogin. This was recently floated at WP:EFN as a band-aid, and I think it makes to implement this pending broader discussion on whether we want to substantially rearrange the reporting flow for these sorts of disallows. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:03, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What actual changes would this make? (Not familiar with this specific wikitext) - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 02:31, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's a improvement. See also Special:Diff/1166047121. This will hide the button by default when filter trips on Special:CreateAccount, unless overridden by fplink=yes, in which case (if the above patch is also applied} at least the link will point to Special:UserLogin.

 Done can you please verify this is working correctly? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:14, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Codex now includes its own icons and background whenever an abuse filter message is shown, so having it is a little redundant. I do not know if there is a way to turn off the Codex warning icons in all circumstances, s instead I am trying to come up with styling that works with the new Codex design system. See {{edit filter warning/sandbox}} for some of the work I have been doing (just right now).

There definitely are going to need to be more changes, but you can see the {{edit filter warning/testcases}} (I used {{cdx-message}} in order to simulate what the message looks like inside of a Codex box, but it is not a perfect 1:1 fit). Aasim (話す（はなす）) 19:05, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that an edit be made to the fully protected template at Template:Edit filter warning. (edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately. Edit requests to fully protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Please implement my changes in the sandbox.

A full list of changes:

• Adds a default text spiel based on the action in case the configuring administrator fails to describe the action effectively
• Adds a {{Codex demo}} template to wrap the entire text (specifically for previewing how the message will appear in the interface, it only calls {{cdx-message}} when cdxDemo=yes and otherwise just echoes whatever text is put in) (removed from edit request 17:03, 19 May 2026 (UTC))
• Removes the icons accompanying the filter since the Codex icons are used in all error messages from this abuse filter and are non-customizable at this time (but this potentially could change), this should prevent icon overflow see the screenshot below (added 17:03, 19 May 2026 (UTC))
• Fixes the "report error" button to the center with some appropriate spacing (removed from edit request 17:03, 19 May 2026 (UTC))
• Adds a "desc" parameter which should be filled with "$1" for MediaWiki to add the abuse filter description (in default text) (which will not be added to MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning or related messages until consensus is achieved at WP:AFNB) (added 17:03, 19 May 2026 (UTC))

The main purpose of these changes are to ensure proper formatting when the entire template is wrapped in Codex styling. Aasim (話す（はなす）) 04:16, 3 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Several issues here:

Restructuring edit filter warning messages to use Codex would need a much broader discussion; much of the enwiki community is very not on board with pushes to use the so-called latest-and-greatest technology.

Experimental templates like {{Codex demo}} shouldn't be used in production interface templates as a general principle.

The wrapper template is pointless anyway; if a specific message wants to do this it can call {{cdx-message}} directly * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:33, 4 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing any specific problem with the "report error" button.

Is there consensus to include the filter descriptions in warnings? That seems like potentially a bad idea to me as it could easily tell vandals how to evade the filter and the text is written for a different audience.

TLDR: the changes here are too broad and controversial to be done through the edit request process; please discuss them somewhere like WP:EFN instead. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:33, 4 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I probably should have been a little clearer what this fixes.

The Codex wrapping is done regardless, all the codex demo template does is simulate the wrapping for testcases. When the message is actually transcluded in the interface there isn't "double wrapping", unlike right now:

This is what the actual text output of the sandbox (default output) is:

I agree that including the abuse filter description will likely require consensus at WP:AFNB, but that does not mean the feature should not be added into the template right now. Aasim (話す（はなす）) 01:58, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
