EFPP-Helper makes it easier to respond to false positives from the edit filter.

Each edit filter log entry (e.g. Special:AbuseLog/31476050) will have some additional information about the page history. If it looks like the edit has never been saved successfully, there will usually be a "Make edit" option.[a] This will take you to the edit form, where you can make any needed fixes. The edit summary will properly credit the user.

The server will be told to[b] attempt a three-way merge with any later edits to the page. If this fails, you will get an edit conflict and have to resolve the problem yourself. Consider enabling the "Paragraph-based edit conflict" beta feature in your preferences.

Actions other than edit (e.g. move, createaccount) are not supported.

Installation

edit

Add the following line to your common.js:

mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=User:Suffusion_of_Yellow/effp-helper.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); // Backlink: [[User:Suffusion of Yellow/effp-helper.js]]

Options

edit

By default, the "Make edit" takes you to the "Show changes" view. If you'd rather go straight to "Show preview", add this to your common.js:

window.effpPreviewOnFirstClick = true;

If you want to test any new updates to EFFP-helper before they go live, add this:

window.effpUseDev = true;

No conflict
This edit will likely merge successfully, even if there are later edits to the page.
Edit conflict

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Under "More" in Vector, under "Page tools" in Timeless, and at the top of the page in MonoBook
  2. ^ The hidden wpEdittime, wpStarttime, and EditRevid inputs will be adjusted, as if you had opened the edit form at the time the log hit
