With the new conditions, the reconfigured filter will still function as the previous change, but it's reconfigured to something advanced, at the very least. — 64andtim

Re-enable again, page_prefixedtitle != 'Test_Wiki:Request_for_permissions' on line 4 was the issue; I switched it to page_id != 702 and checked if it caught anything other that TW:RfP. It finally works again! -- Codename Noreste, June 26 2024

No reason for filter 41 to remain private; I do not believe this is targeted to spammers who attempt various ways to bypass this filter, and automated spambots aren't going to try and avoid this as well. It could also allow non-admins to review this filter's log to check for spam or other kinds of false positives. But fellow administrators who help with abuse filters, you may revert this if you disagree. -- Codename Noreste, July 5 2024
