Notes:	If a new editor creates a userpage that: - Has external links (95% spam, 5% new contributors making good userpages), or - Is in another users' userspace (99% spam or dox, 1% legitimate mistakes about new pages) 15Jul2017-Chr: Replaced ((length(added_links) >= 0) with ((length(added_links) > 0) because it appears to be triggered by all userspace creations even if there are no external links. 12Jul2017-FCP: Merged in Filter 42 (user creating page in another user's userspace) 12Jul2017-FCP: Updated warning 31Dec2016-FCP: Changed to tag-only, no warning. A small portion of legitimate users appear to be scared off by the message. 02Feb2016-FCP: Allowed users to resubmit. 02Feb2016-FCP: Made filter publicly visible, cleaned up. 02Feb2016-FCP: Added warning. [10 Mar 19] Dysk: Turned it off, as now largely redundant to filter 57 and 58. 02 Jul 19] Dysk: marked as deleted
