User:Suffusion of Yellow/effp-helper

EFPP-Helper makes it easier to respond to false positives from the edit filter.

Each edit filter log entry (e.g. Special:AbuseLog/31476050) will have some additional information about the page history. If it looks like the edit has never been saved successfully, there will usually be a "Make edit" option. This will take you to the edit form, where you can make any needed fixes. The edit summary will properly credit the user.

The server will be told to attempt a three-way merge with any later edits to the page. If this fails, you will get an edit conflict and have to resolve the problem yourself. Consider enabling the "Paragraph-based edit conflict" beta feature in your preferences.

Actions other than  (e.g. ,  ) are not supported.

Installation

Guide

 * Edit already made by [user]: Some later revision of this page has exactly the same the content as this one.
 * Edit already made by [user] and is current: Some later revision of this page has exactly the same the content as this one, and is the current (top) revision.
 * [x] later edits: No later revision matches this one, but some other changes have been made to the page.
 * No later edits: No changes have been made to the page.
 * Page deleted: This edit was made to a page that has since been deleted. Please request undeletion first, to comply with the CC-BY-SA license.
 * Page does not exist: This page seems to have never existed. Most likely the filter prevented page creation.
 * Page moved: The page has been moved. The edit will be saved at the new title.
 * Contains signatures: An attempt will be made to replace some occurrences of, ~ , and ~ with the signature and timestamp corresponding to this attempted edit, as opposed to your signature and the current time. This is somewhat experimental, so please review the changes carefully.
 * No conflict: This edit will likely merge successfully, even if there are later edits to the page.
 * Edit conflict: This edit is unlikely to merge successfully, and will cause an edit conflict. Consider enabling the "Paragraph-based edit conflict" beta feature in your preferences.
