Erledigt and a change to the filter may be needed. Could we add an exception for "brain fag"? Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 14:48, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm interested in what other EFMs think, but I don't think "brain fag" is going to be common enough to warrant an exception given that it can also be used in a derogative manner and that the filter only targets non-confirmed users --DannyS712 (talk) 17:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not an EFM, but I don't see the necessity here. I doubt the common use of "brain fag" is to a degree enough to write in an exception. Would be interested in knowing how often, if at all, it is used though. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 02:04, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unpinning, as I agree with above. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 06:48, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Description: I was trying to add Robbie Ryan, Cinematographer, to the list of Notable Former Pupils of my school,

he has been nominated twice for an Oscar and is one of the most celebrated Directors of Photography in the film industry currently. He also has a wikipedia page.

Kommentare: Note: I think you meant to add the link Robbie Ryan (cinematographer) instead. Codename Noreste 🤔 talk 18:43, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, maybe I'm not understanding how to add.

is the link supposed to be added as a source? or a reference? Novamotel (talk) 18:55, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Novamotel, that link above is the biography article you intended to add instead of the filter preventing your edit. Codename Noreste 🤔 talk 19:06, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, then I don't understand. I'm not trying to add a biography article, just someone's name, and if I added a filter then I don't know how. I'm just trying to add a name to a list and it keeps erroring. Novamotel (talk) 20:31, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What the filter (the thing that stopped your edit) does is it stops names from being added to notable people lists if they aren't a link to an existing Wikipedia article - because in 99% of the cases if someone is notable, in the Wikipedia sense, they either already have a Wikipedia article or should have one. – 2804:F14:809E:DF01:958C:CBEA:1D31:A2D5 (talk) 21:30, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That said, I'm not seeing in the article any claim that they went to this college, so you will also need a citation (not because of the filter, just Wikipedia policy)
