Bug ID: 52892
Summary: en-Wiki Edit filter log only partially searchable by
filter ID
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown

Regarding the list output at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog?wpSearchUser=&wpSearchFilter=575&wpSearchTitle=
This should search the log for filter ID 575. This is useful to aid confirmed
editors in identifying behavior patterns of a particularly prolific PR firm
that has created hundreds of sockpuppets.
Indeed it works as it should -- but only for admins. For everyone else, the URL
above results in a list that includes all filter IDs, not just 575.
I'm an admin, so I experimented while logged off.
I discovered that:
1. I can search the log by User.
2. I can search the log by Filter ID 550 only.
3. Oddly, I cannot search the log for any other filter ID.
4. I can search the log by Title.
I don't see any reason why non-admins should be unable to search the list by
filter ID (and why only ID 550 seems to work is strange).
