Work on filtering our/excluding tags is scheduled for April 2019.
Hello, On frwikisource, some contributors use AWB for maintenance tasks, without bot flag. These edits, done by hundreds in a row, generally flood the "recent changes" : they indeed include a specific summary, mentioning AWB -> see https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Modifications_r%C3%A9centes?hidebots=1&hidecategorization=1&limit=500&days=30&enhanced=1&urlversion=2
How could they be filtered out ?
Bonjour! Do you have a local filter for AWB on your wiki? A previous discussion has happen about this topic, you may find there some information.
ok. I just added a filter (hope I did it right here ^^)
Now, how can I filter the tag out? ...
I only have the option to display only the tag, but not to display anything but the tag...
Filtering tags out is not possible (et c'est bien dommage). You have to select all tags but the one you cant to exclude. :/
There is a ticket about that and some plans to work on it starting April 2019.
ok, so, having a filter for AWB is no use at all for this :(
ok, so I'll have to find something else...
If you've selected all filters but AWB, you can save that filter set. Sorry, that's the best I can offer. :/
yes, indeed : but all our filters are designed to filter potentially problematic edits... many edits I want to see are not tagged because they are not problematic, so...
-> just did what you propose... and got absolutely no answer - that's a good sign : it means we do not have a lot of really problematic contributors ^^
but that is not what I was hoping for... just wanted all edits except those AWB that are made by one of our admins...
well, we'll have to wait for a solution from our dear devs ;p
Thanks for your efforts...
We are looking for the best solution about excluding tags from a query. Please comment the options provided, or add your thoughts on the Phabricator task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174349#5480197
