Dell Palomata (filter log)

Description

A change was made outside of the height/weight. The edit looks constructive, but was incorrectly tagged as changing the height or weight. Supposedly there is already a check for a reference that happens to be on the same line, but it doesn't seem to be working in this instance.

Obviously, this is a false positive, but is there actually a way to prevent the filter from triggering when the infobox properties are on the same line? I can't say I know of one, but I am frankly still a little rusty. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 02:25, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame: Perhaps we want to check for a pipe after the height/weight? The regex would need to consider the usage of {{convert}} (see Template:Infobox sportsperson#height) though, so it can quickly get complicated ~ Rusty ^meow ~ 00:29, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Perfectly correct; a false positive. I've removed the spurious date. JBW (talk) 11:08, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Erotic photography (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

The page is for camera-based photography, but the thumbnail was changed to an anime woman with an ambiguous caption. This seemed like an unnecessary change so I reverted the thumbnail back to its previous iteration.
