Viewing abuse filter 39: Additions of missing files

Filter parameters

Filter ID:	39
Description: (publicly viewable)
Conditions:	user_editcount < 100 & page_namespace == 0 & (added_lines + removed_lines) irlike "\.(?:jpe?g\|png\|svg\|gif\|tiff)" & "wpDestFile" in new_html user_editcount < 100 & page_namespace == 0 & (added_lines + removed_lines) irlike "\.(?:jpe?g\|png\|svg\|gif\|tiff)" & "wpDestFile" in new_html
Notes:	Testing per [[Special:PermaLink/886107806#File_name_changes]]; can warn about needing to upload files/not breaking file names, or maybe disallow. -G 2019-03-04 Check old_wikitext for {{BrokenImage}} just in case of FPs on pages already having missing files; ( missing_filename := get_matches( 'class="new" title="File:(.*?)"', new_html )[1]; missing_filename := str_replace( missing_filename, "&", "&" ); missing_filename := str_replace( missing_filename, """, '"' ); ( added_lines rlike missing_filename & !removed_lines rlike missing_filename ) \| ( missing_filename := str_replace( missing_filename, " ", '_' ); added_lines rlike missing_filename & !removed_lines rlike missing_filename ) ) could be added as the last conditions for the filter to be super accurate, but that may be unnecessary complexity. -G 2019-03-04 Check removed_lines to account for cases where the user breaks the file name extension and so it isn't present in the added_lines. -G 2019-03-05 Set to warn and tag. Working well; a lot of it is test/vandalism. -G 2019-03-05 Disabling. This is much too slow... regularly showing up in Logstash, sometimes taking 5 seconds to execute. Avoid new_html at all costs. ~MA Reenabling to check if improvements to filter time recording show that it isn't actually slow, per [[Special:PermaLink/911762194#Filter_971_and_fixes_to_filter_times]]. -G 2019-08-25 It is indeed not slow, so re-enable warning. -G 2019-08-28
