User:Polygnotus/DetectPromo

This script displays a list of words that could be promotional under the title of the article. Not all words it highlights are always promotional in all contexts. It also allows the user to report false positives, but please only do that when there is a word combination that should be excluded because it is not promotional (e.g. "outstanding" can be promotional, but "outstanding warrant" is not).

Testing

Functionality

  • Shows a list of promotional words
  • Filters out certain wordcombinations that are not promotional, e.g "outstanding" can be promotional, but "outstanding warrant" is not
  • Clicking a word attempts to scroll to the right position (so that the word is in the middle of the viewport)

Limitations

  • Some words are promotional in some contexts and not others. For example "engaging" can be considered promotional when talking about a movie, but "engaging the enemy" is not
  • Sometimes promotional words appear in text written by others (e.g. quotes, external links et cetera)
