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]

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]
