Need more eyes please

Can some of you experts please have a look at National bank (disambiguation) and see if you think it's okay the way it is? If you look at the history, it's been through many iterations recently with Boubloub making changes that kept converting it into an article or list, and then me trying to revert the worst to bring it in line with DAB MOS. Clearly there are a LOT of banks with the term in its title, so wondering if they should all be there, or is there a better solution? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:39, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

For a start, there's currently a WP:MALPLACED problem. Narky Blert (talk) 22:19, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

WT:WikiProject Disambiguation/Archive 53#Lists of Indian films - a heads-up (contd.)

JBW has kindly given 2A00:23C8:9FB7:5C00:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · block user · block log) a 3-month holiday; see diff. If you come across new instances of this nuisance, feel free to post on my TP; and if there's enough of a pattern I'll assemble another depthcharge. Narky Blert (talk) 21:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

That's welcome news. If they return, one option is to request an edit filter to prevent unconfirmed editors from replacing "Foo (qualifier)|Foo" by "Foo" in links from "List of Hindi films of yyyy", or perhaps with slightly broader scope. Most of their contributions include differences following that pattern, their final effort including several changes such as replacing Footpath (1953 film)|Footpath by the less relevant Footpath.

That's an excellent idea. I can envisage a filter which could be precise and straightforward. If I collect a couple of new throwaway IPs, I'll file a request. Narky Blert (talk) 14:28, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

This page shows IP edits to Indian films by year within the last 30 days. Most are good-faith improvements, but most edits with significant negative size changes e.g. (–123) are likely to be of interest. The damage was extensive, but everything seems to have been reverted. I suspect that an enthusiastic editor has their own "master copy" of each page offline. From time to time they make a minor improvement to one and upload it to Wikipedia, overwriting everyone else's edits since their last upload. Certes (talk) 22:34, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

My test would be for Hindi films of xxxx/IP/negative size/links to DAB and/or name pages. A Mk 1 eyeball scan of your list suggests that would catch everything with no false positives (and everything like that had already been reverted). I'm not so sure about working off-wiki; I've earlier seen a couple of instances where they returned immediately after a big edit to introduce an error they'd overlooked. Narky Blert (talk) 08:00, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

A couple of edits today fit the pattern but appear to be good-faith and plausibly correct: [1], [2] Certes (talk) 22:51, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Doesn't look like them. This IP edits elsewhere too, and note the ES in your first diff. Narky Blert (talk) 12:03, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

It's almost certainly a different person, a constructive editor, but might trigger a hypothetical edit filter if we're not careful. Certes (talk) 14:35, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
