Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.[1] Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing.
(emphasis changed by me!)
"violates external links policy" ==> "addition of unnecessary/inappropriate external links" (the old wording was quite strong, and WP:EL isn't even a "policy")
Please add your ideas and comments here. If you like the proposed changes, indicating your support here would also be helpful. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 04:10, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looking forward to testing out the new config. Not sure if this would be the appropriate place to suggest this, but would it be possible to integrate {{subst:Shared IP advice}} for warnings to anonymous users, similar to what Twinkle already does?

Yay, first feedback :D -- Interestingly, the old Huggle 2 config has the following lines:
shared-ip-template-tag:<!-- Template:Shared IP advice -->
Hey I saw youtwo trying it and am very happy to see your edits! This is awesome; I am unsure how long we should keep testing it before letting the changes go live. I will definitely wait for at least one administrator to try it out, but I am afraid that those who already know about the beta test are not willing to lose their keyboard shortcuts for this experiment. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:14, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, I don't use keyboard shortcuts, so even if this never goes live, I'll just keep using this beta. Nice! - DVdm (talk) 19:38, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ToBeFree, At: report-auto-summary: 'This user was automatically reported by Huggle due to reverted vandalism after a final warning. Please verify their contributions carefully, it may be a false positive', can a period be added at the end for proper grammar? Steve M (talk) 15:34, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Will it ever be possible to make Huggle draw feed from edit filter logs that were not disallowed? This will speed up the cleaning of vandalism and would be a huge step up for Huggle. Thoughts on whether this is a good idea and how this can be implemented? aeschylus (talk) 17:32, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, this is probably technically doable, but can you elaborate on how should that be done? Where is such a log available (in machine friendly format)? Petrb (talk) 19:23, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for late reply, I am too busy these days, I think that such edits should be tagged, are they not? Huggle can already adjust score based on edit tags, see config page:
# This is a list of all edit tags that affect the score somehow, available since Huggle 3.1.17
score-tags:
bad external: 100
Huggle: -2000
Twinkle: -2000
Possible vandalism: 800
As you can see there are already tags "Possible vandalism" which should be added to all edits that are triggering abuse filter rules but are passed. Petrb (talk) 10:35, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Petrb, for start, there is the tag "possible vandalism" with the lowercase p in the beginning, which is a different anti-vandal filter. I made a list of useful tags
@Petrb: Could we see if we can increase what is needed to be included on the whitelist, from -2000 to perhaps -3000? Right now HG added Yila30127 and Martiansalad. Neither should have been added in my opinion. Or perhaps add a requirement that the account needs to be at least a couple of days old. Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 01:54, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
