Comments: Done and a change to the filter may be needed. Made edit and fixed typos. Appears to be a trip on "Amissus"... can we please make sure that we avoid the Scunthorpe problem and not have filters tripping on normal words/phrases that happen to contain something that is also used as vandalism or memes? – Taking Out The Trash (talk) 13:17, 12 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Done and a change to the filter may be needed. I don't see any memes in that edit. – Taking Out The Trash (talk) 13:18, 12 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

"Deez" is going to be the hit there. – LuniZunie_(talk) 04:02, 13 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oh for crying out loud. I'm only aware of exactly one meme involving that string. Do we really have to be blocking any mention of the string even when it's standalone and clearly not being used as a meme? Taking Out The Trash (talk) 14:44, 13 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think it may be a bit much. Hopefully an edit filter manager can take a look, I'll pin the section. – LuniZunie_(talk) 15:23, 13 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Eye of Providence (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was attempting to add information on a popular pop-culture reference to the Eye of Providence from hit Disney cartoon 'Gravity Falls.' A frequently cited character with the likeness of the Eye of Providence is Bill Cipher, who I was trying to add a section on. This was purely for informational and reference purposes, seeing how the Eye of Providence is cited as a codeword in "https://thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com/", a popular website within the fandom.

Description: The original article had a number of errors in grammar, punctuation, and capitalization, which I've cleaned up. I've also added links to related articles and removed a detail that seemed not directly relevant to the subject, and was also uncited.
