Notes:
Log only ~MusikAnimal 2014.09.25 Boldly adding a warning. The rationale behind this is as follows: ~ Filter works, triggered only when a large amount (400+ bytes) of sourced content is removed ~ This does not prevent save nor deter the removal of the content, it simply politely asks the user to use an edit summary ~ Under standard practice patrollers would revert unexplained removal of sourced content anyway ~ Most hits appear to be blatant vandalism Following this logic, this filter should serve well. For the good editors, it teaches to use an edit summary when removing content. The patrollers would revert and ask them to do the same, instead the filter is doing that job. For the bad editors, the fact that they have to hit save twice alone will help prevent vandalism. If someone has an issue with this filter or feels there should not be a warning, feel free to remove warning, but please let me know, and consider starting a thread at [[Wikipedia talk:Edit filter]] explaining why you think this is a bad idea. Please also keep the filter enabled. Thank you! ~MusikAnimal 2014.10.01
