Notes:	Tested on filter 953. Quit a bit of vandalism that just involves removing the lead of an article, including the infobox. There's overlap with other filters but a reasonable proportion of edits get through that needs to be disallowed and wouldn't be catcheable by other filters I know of. Currently just logging and if there are no false positives will post on EFN about setting to disallow. -Galo Increase new_size exclusion limit, so that there should be no conversions to redirects and the like caught. -Galo 2019.01.14 Set to disallow per [[Special:PermaLink/879231787#Setting_filter_957_to_disallow?]] -Galo 2019.01.20 Log-only while seeing if can reduce FPs. Exclude cases where added_lines contains templates or is long - solely focus on blankings of the lead and replacements of the lead with things like "ur mom" and "hi". -Galo 2019.01.21 Add "substr (old_wikitext, 0, length(string(removed_lines))) == string(removed_lines)" per FP Special:AbuseLog/23052500. -Galo 2019.01.22 Add second method, which checks the position of the first header to determine lead length. -G 2019-03-02
