Notes:	Requested by [[User:CAPTAIN MEDUSA]] at [[Special:PermaLink/945601043#Self Advertisement]]. Pattern is WAY to broad right now, but let's see which sites are popular, and add those to the regex. --Suffusion of Yellow 00:39 15 Mar 2020 Try something else. --Suffusion of Yellow 21:20 2 May 2020 Fix, \s* -> \s+, otherwise matches on "100 followers on Facebook" --Suffusion of Yellow 00:36 3 May 2020 3Jan21: Add abbrevs FB and IG per note on EFN --C Also add "@\w+" as a site, even though its not, to catch spam of the pattern "follow x on @handle". The platform is then not taken into consideration, but that pattern is unlikely to be anything but spam. Revert without notice if that's too ugly. --C Set to warn. Looking at the non-reverted edits, could only find two FPs in 250 _saved_ hits. --Suffusion of Yellow 20:49 5 May 2021
