{{int:Hello}},
Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. {{Int:Please-translate}}.
We are making a change to the [[mw:Extension:AbuseFilter|AbuseFilter extension]], which may impact the behavior of some existing filters. The <code>rmspecials()</code> function currently removes spaces in addition to special characters. We will change it such that it will only remove special characters. The existing <code>rmwhitespace()</code> can be used to remove spaces whenever applicable.
As reported on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P12854 we believe at least one filter on your wiki has been identified to use the <code>rmspecials()</code> function. Please consider updating these filters by wrapping <code>rmspecials()</code> inside <code>rmwhitespace()</code> like this: <code>rmwhitespace(rmspecials(....))</code>
We need you to update the relevant filters within 2 weeks of this notice. If one of the community members with proper access is volunteering to take this on, we ask them to please respond below and notify User:Huji in their response or in the edit summary. If we don't hear back from you within 2 weeks, [[:m:User:Huji|Huji]] will edit the relevant filters on your wiki per the global [[:m:Abuse filter maintainer|abuse filter maintainer]] policy, to ensure the filters won't break once the change is implemented. Thank you for your consideration!
Best regards,
