             Bug #: 40672
           Summary: Abuse filter for very short posts
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: ArticleFeedbackv5
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: fflo...@wikimedia.org

We would like to prevent users from posting feedback that is less than 5
characters long.

Filter editor Sole Soul moved some code from filter 460 to filter 458 to make
that happen:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/463

However, that filter hit the limit of >5% of actions very quickly, and was
automatically disabled (perhaps unfairly,see related Bug 37615).

To address this issue, Oliver and I tried filtering posts with different
numbers of characters, but these actions still resulted in the filter being
automatically disabled. 

We would like to find a solution to this issue, either by changing the Regex
script, or by solving the related issue for Bug 37615:
