- 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)
- Pinned – This thread has been pinned and will not be archived until this template has been removed. Courtesy ping: EggRoll97, who last modified the filter. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 14:11, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- 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)- I would suggest using
\s
instead of a few spaces, but that is a minor suggestion, changing the regex tosean\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)- Maybe
?
without\s?
would perform the same function? Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 19:37, 5 December 2024 (UTC)?
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)
