  Comment: It might make sense to remove the Wikipedia:Requested articles/ from the filter. Nobody (talk) 10:12, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Note: 1AmNobody24, I have a simple filter change to resolve this false positive: !(page_title irlike "requested articles|sandbox|correct typos in one click|missing encyclopedic articles|fix common mistakes") &. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 03:23, 3 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]]''' (talkcontribs) 14:10, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  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]]''' (talkcontribs) 14:11, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  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]
