Line 478:
One final note: on the Discord server, I suggested to [[User:k6ka|k6ka]] that we (meaning he) might implement an [[Special:AbuseFilter|abuse filter]] to catch additional insertions of the generic bio on articles in the main namespace. I would be curious to see k6's, and everyone else's, response to that idea. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 05:38, April 16, 2019 (UTC)
:I believe abuse filter is an ideal solution because that way, it can prevent further edit warring while allowing the user to continue their good-faith contribution. This may allow us to avoid repeated banning, which would be unnecessary if abuse filter can prevent the edit in the first place. Let's assume it wouldn't cause further disruptive behavior from the user.

::Well I wouldn't have thought of setting up the abuse filter to prevent further attempts to insert the generic biographies to articles. I guess because I was too busy waiting to see whether they'd ever stop trying to add the generic biographies, and then block them if they kept trying to add them.
::But I wouldn't be opposed to setting up a filter to catch any further attempts to add the generic biographies, or to edit war on specific pages. But then I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to the idea of warning them not to keep trying to do the things that the abuse filter would prevent them from doing either. ― <span style="font-family:'Constantia'; font-weight:bold; font-size:108%;">[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="#800020">C.Syde</font>]]</span> <span style="font-family:'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size:108%;">([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]])</span> 06:33, April 16, 2019 (UTC)
