Hi, Abuse filter need to have a feature where in it would provide a unique code to be included (using <!---exceptioncode--> next to given string in article. Sub feature exception or a word chosen in wiki language should be standard software should suggest randamly generated code to be added next to word <!--exceptionThecode--> Reason: In certain context certain abusive words remain encyclopedic. For example in artcile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13_June 1934 entry about meeting between Hitler and mussolini when asked to historians certain abusive words do have encyclopedic value.So we may need to give exception at that place only and no where else.This will save abuse filter managers and patrollers. Thanks
You can already exclude pages containing a string, very easily. Are you saying that this kind of regular expressions you're looking for don't work with AbuseFilter? (I don't remember what subset of regex we use exactly.) Anyway, your approach seems wrong: you can't determine context reliably with regex, you should tag such edits adding words you don't like and then check them manually.

Mahitgar, you can achieve that easily by changing the condition to ( ( YOURCONDITION ) & article_text != '13 June' )
(In reply to comment #3) > Mahitgar, you can achieve that easily by changing the condition to > > ( ( YOURCONDITION ) & article_text != '13 June' ) Yes I know, this exempts the complete page. Thanks
