Comments: Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. I don't see why you are removing those two languages. The filter should presumably be able to identify and ignore lines ending in exclamation marks that already ended in exclamation marks before the edit was made. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 00:06, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done and a change to the filter may be needed. Diddy Kong (the small monkey character) triggered the filter intended for the not-so-popular Diddy – '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 14:10, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinned – This thread has been pinned and will not be archived until this template has been removed.

Note: I have this regex idea that will no longer trip on Diddy Kong by using a negative lookahead: sean (?:\"?diddy\"? )?(?:combs|john)|(?:p )?didd(?:ler|y)(?! kong)|puff daddy. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 19:21, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest using \s instead of a few spaces, but that is a minor suggestion, changing the regex to sean\s?(?:\"?diddy\"?\s?)?(?:combs|john)|(?:p\s?)?didd(?:ler|y)(?!\skong)|puff\sdaddy, but otherwise the negative lookahead idea seems solid. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 19:36, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe ? without \s? would perform the same function? Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 19:37, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

? would only match spaces while \s? matches enters, spaces, carriage returns, and a wider variety of things. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 19:44, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
