Notes:	Test whether starting a new line with small letters is unique to vandalism. Will keep it without throttle initially. Log only. -Sole Soul Exceeded my expectations. High catch rate with nearly no FPs. Turn to warn and tag for now. -Sole Soul It's called lowercase. Also, require at least two in a row to prevent stuff like iPod, eBay, etc. In any case, my opinion is that it should never be set to disallow because there will always be plenty of FPs no matter how hard we try. - KoH Add "\|" to exceptions, a common character in infoboxes. -Sole Soul :Could you improve the warning message? Or request its creation, because this is very confusing for newbies who don't know what they did wrong. -Petrb A lot of good faith edits cached by this filter are on topics related to south Asian countries. Although most of these edits are not consistent with WP:MOS, it is not the purpose of this filter to enforce WP:MOS neither is it to warn good faith editors. -Sole Soul Format to reduce typical condition count. -DF Exclude pages with a syntaxhighlight tag. --Suffusion of Yellow 18:47 26 Jun 2022 [[Special:Permalink/1146961915#Set 432 to disallow?]] --TNT Rather than warn and disallow, create custom disallow message. --Galobtter 08:31 31 Mar 2023
