<code>[^0-5]</code> characters (with <code>str_replace_regexp</code>) in both added and removed lines with an empty string and then compare the resulting strings, supposedly what that then would be checking is if any 0 to 5 number was changed, removed or added in the edit (or swapped order...), which would probably reduce most of the potential false positives. A more ideal change would be to get all the matches and compare that, but I don't know how to do that efficiently. Mind you, this would replace the <code>in</code> version, though I'm unsure what that actually does.</dd> <dd>Something else: Checking if it's a revert is cheap (and reverts happen often), could move that up. – <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/2804:F14:8092:C01:116E:4A01:43DF:61D4" title="Special:Contributions/2804:F14:8092:C01:116E:4A01:43DF:61D4">2804:F1...DF:61D4</a> (<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/2804:F14::/32" title="Special:Contributions/2804:F14::/32">::/32</a>) (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:2804:F14:8092:C01:116E:4A01:43DF:61D4" title="User talk:2804:F14:8092:C01:116E:4A01:43DF:61D4">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_filter/Requested#c-2804:F14:8092:C01:116E:4A01:43DF:61D4-20241111164400-PharyngealImplosive7-20241111153300" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:44, 11 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-2804:F14:8092:C01:116E:4A01:43DF:61D4-20241111164400-PharyngealImplosive7-20241111153300"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-2804:F14:8092:C01:116E:4A01:43DF:61D4-20241111164400-PharyngealImplosive7-20241111153300"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-PharyngealImplosive7-20241111173900-2804:F14:8092:C01:116E:4A01:43DF:61D4-20241111164400"></span>Yeah I moved the revert code up, though I'm not sure about your other idea.

Over the past few days, I’ve noticed instances of page blanking in Wikipedia namespace pages, including manuals, policies, and shortcuts. I believe it could be beneficial to implement a filter to prevent such actions. Additionally, I'd like to invite editfilters to consider applying this filter to other namespaces, such as <i>Main:</i> and <i>Portal:</i>.</li> <li><b>Diffs</b>: <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Statistics&diff=prev&oldid=1258210092">1</a>, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:AN3/doc&diff=prev&oldid=1258199762">2</a>, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:FDL&diff=prev&oldid=1257818210">3</a>, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portal:Aviation&diff=prev&oldid=1257586536">4</a>, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:RDR%20(disambiguation)&diff=prev&oldid=1256819041">5</a>, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:NOTESSAY&diff=prev&oldid=1256818950">6</a>.</li></ul> <p>— <a href="/wiki/User:Tres_Libras" title="User:Tres Libras">Tres Libras</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Tres_Libras" title="User talk:Tres Libras">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_filter/Requested#c-Tres_Libras-20241118195000-Preventing_Page_Blanking" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:50, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Tres_Libras-20241118195000-Preventing_Page_Blanking"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Tres_Libras-20241118195000-Preventing_Page_Blanking"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Codename_Noreste-20241118210000-Tres_Libras-20241118195000"></span>We already have filter <span class="plainlinks"><a href="/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/1151" title="Special:AbuseFilter/1151">1151</a> (<a href="/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/history/1151" title="Special:AbuseFilter/history/1151">hist</a> <b>·</b> <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchFilter=1151">log</a>)</span> for this purpose, but it only allows 2 blankings in 30 minutes before that filter prevents any more from anonymous and non-autoconfirmed users. <a href="/wiki/User:Codename_Noreste" title="User:Codename Noreste"><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#0024FF"><i><b>Codename Noreste</b></i></span></a> 🤔 <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Codename_Noreste" title="User talk:Codename Noreste"><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#0A16A5"><i>Talk</i></span></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_filter/Requested#c-Codename_Noreste-20241118210000-Tres_Libras-20241118195000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:00, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Codename_Noreste-20241118210000-Tres_Libras-20241118195000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Codename_Noreste-20241118210000-Tres_Libras-20241118195000"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Tres_Libras-20241118211200-Codename_Noreste-20241118210000"></span>Ah, I see.
