 | This is a Spam/PR wording/phrases highlighter script that attempts to identify phrasing that does not constitute an encyclopedic article. It is not perfect, and it is not to be used mindlessly.

What this does[edit]
This script uses regex rules to attempt to match on phrasing and words commonly seen within marketing material, spam, and low quality articles.
Limitations[edit]
Due to the strategy used by this script, it cannot read, cannot understand context, and is otherwise imperfect. It works by attempting to detect specific patterns and highlighting them. This pattern recognition ability is limited to what Javascript's regex implementation can provide. As of now, it is also easily confused by pages dense with formatting, and may fail to match on text it otherwise would detect.
Alongside this, the way matching is currently implemented means custom descriptions and formatting does not work on a per rule basis, and this may take some time to be fixed (as it's a complicated problem)
