Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives

Edit was not disallowed though a change to the filter may be needed. False positive caused by citation containing the phrase "rich history". Would it be possible to exclude the contents of ref tags from this filter? – jlwoodwa (talk) 02:00, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The exclusion addition would be <\/?ref (to add in cite_exemption_pattern). Also, I am pinging Ahecht as the recent maintainer of filter 1325. Codename Noreste (talk) 20:47, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My only contributions to that filter were the lines to detect emojis. Pinging Queen of Hearts. --Ahecht (TALK

Description: I tried to make the ___location of the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station (which I live near) more accurate, because while researching the process it uses to make electricity, I saw that the ___location was not entirely accurate, it said it was 30km North of Cape Town (it is 27km North of Cape Town) and that it was located near Melkbosstrand, as if it wasn't situated in a specific town/city (it is located in Duynefontein) when I attempted to publish my changes, I was stopped, I am not certain what I did wrong during the process of making the changes.

The existing geo coordinates are accurate; your change would've put the marker miles inland in the middle of an empty field. Additionally, we don't put references at the beginning of an article.
