Notes:	Related filters: * filter 14 - for blanking pages in the user/user talk namespaces * filter 42 - for section blanking This filter is for page blankings in the gallery (0), file (6) and category (14) namespace. * Add template namespace (10). --The Evil IP address * Add project namespace (4). --Krinkle Triggered for anyone not autoconfirmed. * Raised to trigger for anyone not a sysop, there's no reason for blanked pages. Only extra work for admins to clean up. -- Krinkle * Actually there are legitimate reasons to blank a page; I was hit by this filter just before I became an admin. Allow edit count greater than 200. (I left the "sysop" in despite redundancy for code safety, in case there were a temporary single-purpose admin account or something.) - KoH 'sysop' in user_groups --> "autopatrol" in user_rights -- Steinsplitter Change line 4 to not trigger where new_size and old_size are both 0. -Mdaniels
