False positives at User talk:Cyberpower678 history tab

A lot of entries at the history tab of User talk:Cyberpower678 are showing with red exclamation marks, when the diff itself has no URLs in it. Hovering over them reveals wikipedia.org. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:59, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Novem Linguae. We'll file this as a bug and triage it. We knew about false negatives, but this is our first known case of false positives. We're also strongly considering only working on Namespace = 0 diffs, since there are legitimate uses of, for example, en.wikipedia.org urls in other spaces! Thanks for the feedback.

I was just about to move this to Phab myself. Unfortunately while writing the Phab ticket the problem went away, so this may be an intermittent one :( Anyway I've got the ticket typed up so I'll go ahead and file it in a moment. –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:05, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I encountered this on a different page just now, and I added a comment to the phab ticket with more info. By the way, to get emails for a phab tag, I think you need to add yourselves as watchers rather than members over at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/members/7126/ –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:35, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Possible bug?

Tracked in Phabricator

I've noticed that when you’re reverting an edit, sometimes the symbols are added to your edit, even though you’re not introducing any questionable sources. An example is [1]. The text is revdelled as a copyright violation but I can easily share the text if needed. The gist is that there wasn't actually any change to the sourcing used (the edit I reverted didn't cite any sources). Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 06:42, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
