Checking with the edit filter managers to see if changes need to be made. @Ohnoitsjamie: need a fix here, LTA filters shouldn't be blocking school projects, even if said projects are ill-informed or producing unworthy content. – Taking Out The Trash (talk) 14:06, 31 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Note: That's Guerillero's filter; I'm not familiar with what it's supposed to be targeting. OhNoitsJamie ^talk 14:38, 31 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Alright then, @Guerillero:. Regardless of what it's supposed to be targeting, I'd find it extremely unlikely/implausible that an LTA has somehow managed to infiltrate a school assignment/project. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 17:16, 31 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I disabled it. I think it was from an LTA that would repeatedly dump reams of text onto user pages, but after 4 year my memory is very hazy. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 03:48, 1 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Per above. @Aarbob02: you should be good to go now, sorry for the trouble. – Taking Out The Trash (talk) 13:20, 1 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Done and a change to the filter may be needed. Are we seriously blocking any mention of the string "67" regardless of context? Unless there was another trigger that I missed there, that's far too broad of a net to be casting with a disallow filter. – Taking Out The Trash (talk) 14:08, 31 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The edit I attempted was only to move/resize the small Kazakhstan map so it stayed inside the frame on the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League page. I believe this was a false positive. Please review when possible. ~2026-32427-04 (talk) 11:44, 1 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
