Notes:	Excessive amounts of whitespace is associated with ascii art and some other forms of vandalism. Can't think if there are likely legitimate uses, but going to leave this at flag only for a while to see. Decreasing false positives. Exclude lines terminated by runs of spaces. Though generally poor form, they aren't really a problem. add tag "excessive whitespace" - Cen Merged two regexes. - Ruslik add subpages of WT:IFU as exceptions, see log - Cen exclude user editing own userspace - Evil saltine remove warn, per request, will reevaluate the whole thing later -P I added exception for articles for creation. - Ruslik These aren't being acted on + the filter is overwrought now = disabling. -Wknight94 Marked as deleted. - Ruslik
