I'm asking because I just saw someone adding stuff such as what can be seen in this diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Del_City_High_School&diff=prev&oldid=854268628 Presumably, it was the spaces that prevented the change from being detected, as things such as this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/21759611 were detected and blocked immediately. I do not feel confident at all in my ability to successfully make any changes myself to filters, so I'm asking this question.

You can use rmwhitespace()
but we'd need to be careful with that filter to make sure no false positives happen as a result. E.g. "ass" matching "as soon" -- though this specific example shouldn't happen.
