Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. (automated comment) — MajavahBot (talk · contributions) 09:58, 20 December 2024 (UTC:)

@CanonNi This probably should go to the filter list since we can't really discuss changes to private filters here. Nobody (talk) 10:33, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. I'll send a email then. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:43, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CanonNi: I've manually EC-confirmed your bot, which should fix the current issue and maybe a few more. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 12:53, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll run the task again. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 12:59, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I don't think we'll bother doing anything about tripping the no-action (eg tag) filters. They're relatively harmless and should become less of an issue over time. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 13:07, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, no filters should be triggered anymore when the BRFA passes. For the bot:

Done – The edit for this report has been implemented, however no changes to the filter were made. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 13:28, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
