You miss the point: in an edit-filter, I would advocate simply blocking the edit if it was VE and not allow it to be saved. If a human being consciously did it, there's at least a remote chance that it was a good edit worthy of examination. There *are* legitimate uses of nowiki, usually things involving bolded and italicized possessives, pipe characters inside of text. It's just that none of the ones created by VE have any merit. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
