Filter parameters

Filter ID:	3
Description: (publicly viewable)
Statistics:	Of the last 2 actions, this filter has matched 0 (0%). On average, its run time is 0.11 ms, and it consumes 1.5 conditions of the condition limit.
Conditions:	! "confirmed" in user_groups & page_namespace == 0 & old_size > 0 & rcount("https?:\/\/", added_lines) > rcount("https?:\/\/", removed_lines) & count("<ref", added_lines) <= count("<ref", removed_lines) & ! user_name in page_recent_contributors ! "confirmed" in user_groups & page_namespace == 0 & old_size > 0 & rcount("https?:\/\/", added_lines) > rcount("https?:\/\/", removed_lines) & count("<ref", added_lines) <= count("<ref", removed_lines) & ! user_name in page_recent_contributors
Notes:	Repeated addition of external links to articles by new users. Often an indication of spam. Not sure about the right limit/timeframe. Testing >3 per 20 mins. Adding refs is generally a good use of external links. Fix a bug temporarily -Prodego Format. -DF Updated to allow "confirmed" to bypass as well - Xaos article_recent_contributors is quite slow. Moving to the end -- better to have too many conditions in this case, I think; also some cleanup of syntax ~MA Check for https and not just http, see [[Special:Permalink/832937586#Edit filter problems]] ~MA 20190104-Updated deprecated parameters ~Xa
