`:There's a general description at Wikipedia:Edit filter. No, you can't make a personal filter that adds pages to your watchlist. If there would be lots of false positives, you might try setting the filter on log-only, and collect the results through the filter log. For example, see . Also, with careful construction of a filter, one can eliminate many false positives. Filter 46 has a list of exception-cases at the end, for example: while ``poop`` is primarily used for puerile vandalism, ``poop deck`` is a completely legitimate nautical term that's explicitly allowed via that exception list. Yes, there will be false negatives on a good filter—but that's what we have humans for. ;) {{|||⚡}}   `
