Viewing abuse filter 49: New user conducting large scale reverts

Filter parameters

Filter ID:	49
Description: (publicly viewable)
Conditions:	!"confirmed" in user_groups & summary irlike "undid\|undo\|revert\|\brv\b" !"confirmed" in user_groups & summary irlike "undid\|undo\|revert\|\brv\b"
Notes:	Filter to track large-scale reverts by new users. -Rate increase - P Add "rv" to list of summaries. Od Mishehu Added spaces around "rv" - too many false positives due to section names - "seRVice", "reseRVe", "oveRView", etc. - Mr.Z-man exempt all ST47's pages and subpages -- Soap " rv " (with spaces) won't catch it if it appears at the front. Regex is much more customizable. - KoH Format. -DF Use "confirmed" instead of "autoconfirmed" ~MA Removing the mysterious clause exempting ST47's userspace. Cursory glance at their user/user talk pages didn't reveal anything justifying this, so I'm assuming it isn't needed anymore (it was added in 2010). Also adding clause to not tag if the user is reverting themselves ~MA Removing clause checking self-username, sometimes the user is reverting intermediate edits back to their version. This filter only tags, so no biggie if the user is legitimately reverting a lot of their own edits ~MA
