Notes:	A user impersonating the signature of someone else. Idea from [[Wikipedia:Edit_filter/Requested#Filter_to_stop_mass_move_request_vandalism]]. Makes a few assumptions about the signatures of new users, not sure how many FPs it'll pick up. --ProcrastinatingReader 21:52 30 Apr 2021 Ignore reverts --ProcrastinatingReader 13:26 1 May 2021 Include projectspace --ProcrastinatingReader 16:58 1 May 2021 Disabling as got enough data to try to narrow this down into something workable if possible and if it might be fruitful, but there are a lot of FPs. Made a different, narrower filter to deal with that specific EFR. It's likely this kind of broad filter on 'impersonation' is not feasible. --ProcrastinatingReader 15:46 26 May 2021
