Error in filter?

This is not something that happened to me, it's just something I noticed while looking at the abuse log. If this should be somewhere else, please let me know and we'll remedy that asap.

I noticed while looking through the abuse log that someone trigged the filter by editing their own userpage. New users trip the filter if they edit javascript pages, but this probably shouldn't take effect on javascript pages that are on their own userpage.

Here is the link to the log: [1]

Unrelated to my post above
While reviewing the AbuseLog and reverting vandalism, the filter was tripped because I was restoring something that was blanked in an article. Maybe this should make sure that if nowiki tags etc are being added back, that it's not something being reverted from vandalism. Thanks.

Cite this report which is hosted as a PDF on a Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17i41fDzgSVJWvfrnuWwpQUqGgOJqHJy9/view This is a reliable source corroborated by other sources and bearing official information about the origin, but it did trip up the automated filter for "blogging and web host platforms." It appears to have let me use this after clicking Publish a second time but I follow this link to report what I was doing just in case there is any issue with it.
