There seems to be an example missing in the Mitigations > Escaping subsection
editNothing comes after the sentence 'the following example parameterizes a SQL query by escaping username and password parameters:' Vladmashk (talk) 13:12, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- This edit removed it. I've undone that edit, so it's back now. -- WOSlinker (talk) 14:39, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Substantial changes
editI took the liberty to make some changes, which, I believe, make the article more consistent. Being inexperienced Wikipedia contributor, I am not sure if my contributions violate some regulations. If so, please do not revert them in bulk, or at least don't do that without a discussion, in which I would get a chance to defend the changes I made or learn how to improve them up to Wikipedia standards. Thank you. 95.24.174.50 (talk) 12:01, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

SQL injection → SQL injection attack – A lot of the other types of computer hacking techniques are referred to as "attacks" or "hacks" such as Denial-of-service attack, WannaCry ransomware attack, or Viasat hack. Also, SQL injection is only used in the context of an attack. VidanaliK (talk to me) (contributions) 16:14, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose Per WP:CONCISE and WP:COMMONNAME. There is no need to add the additional explanatory "attack" to the name, that is explained within the article quickly. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:13, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose: per nom as it is already mentioned in the article. ~ŤheŴubṂachine-840≈ ● ✒️ 09:35, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- Comment I would point out that ransomware and Social_engineering_(security), Trojan_horse_(computing) and phishing avoid the suggested pattern. Joe (talk) 16:54, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose The article is only about SQL injection. If "attack" is added, the reader would expect a real world incident or example of a SQL injection attack. Also per WP:CONCISE.
