Lets through the ordinary WordPress requests listed in #245, by the plan at #212 (comment) and its addition at #212 (comment). Each field skips only those of 930120, 932120, 932250 and 932260 (.htaccess, powershell, ls -la, python3) that its recorded requests set off. 932235 stays on every field, and a test shows ; wget http://example.com/x.sh refused on each.
Fields and areas:
page on all of /wp-admin/ and /wp-login.php: all four rules. It joins the group of names.
p, postId and slug there: 932120 and 932260 only. WordPress writes these as slugs (htaccess, ls-la).
JSON title, excerpt and name on any /wp/v2/ route, only while bodies are read: all four rules. JSON slug there: 932120 and 932260 only.
url on /wp-block-editor/v1/url-details and /oembed/1.0/proxy, in a rule of its own, and on /wp-comments-post.php: 930120 and 932120 only. An address holding python3 or ls -la did not misfire.
testdata/wordpress-requests.txt gains 61 requests recorded from WordPress 7.1.4 (same image digest as #241) by headless Chrome.
Things the diff does not show:
The field-name pattern is matched in lower case, so postId is written postid in wordpress.conf.
Disclosures:
These rules no longer cover those fields in those places.
An ordinary request on any other field can still be refused.

internal/coreruleset/wordpress.conf: some new fields skip rules that their recorded requests never set off. The definition of done in #245 says "removing only the rules that misfire on that field".
p, postId and the plugin slug (900707), and the JSON slug (900712): the recorded values set off only 932120 and 932260. WordPress sends these as slugs (htaccess, ls-la), so 930120 and 932250 never misfired there, yet both are removed.
url on /wp-block-editor/v1/url-details and /oembed/1.0/proxy (900708): the recorded addresses set off only 930120 and 932120, as the commenter's url does, yet 932250 and 932260 are removed too. Widening 900708 also excludes search, term and slug on routes that take none of them.
Acceptable:
In 900707, add p, postid and slug only to the 932120 and 932260 lists, the way 932235 already has its own shorter list.
Give the JSON slug only 932120 and 932260.
Give url on those two routes only 930120 and 932120, in a rule of its own like 900713, and leave 900708 on oembed/1\.0/embed$.
Tests show .htaccess and ls -la still refused on p, postId and both slugs, and ls -la and python3 still refused in those two urls.
Make the PR body ("Each field misfired on the same four rules"), the SPEC.md entries and the conf comment that these names "can hold any word" match.
SPEC.md, the new body-field entry "title, excerpt, slug and name of a post or a tag saved through a REST API route under /wp/v2/": rule 900712 applies to these JSON fields on every route under /wp/v2/ (users, media, settings, categories), not only posts and tags.

internal/coreruleset/coreruleset_test.go, line 1126, in TestWordPressBodyFieldsAreCheckedInTheQuery: the line get("/wp-comments-post.php?url=python3") should show that a commenter's url keeps every rule when it comes in the query. Rule 900713 never removes 932260, so the line passes with or without the query check (&ARGS_GET:url "@eq 0") in internal/coreruleset/wordpress.conf. No test covers that check. Acceptable: replace the line with a value that 900713 skips in the body, such as get("/wp-comments-post.php?url=powershell") expecting matched(932120), so the test fails if the query check is removed.
Deviation: this review covered the whole change, not only the two earlier findings. This gap was already there before the rework.

Each field skips only the rules its recorded requests set off:
- page on all of wp-admin, and the JSON fields title, excerpt and name
on /wp/v2/ routes: 930120, 932120, 932250 and 932260;
- p, postId and slug on all of wp-admin, and the JSON slug on /wp/v2/
routes: 932120 and 932260, since WordPress writes these as slugs;
- url on the block editor's link previews and embeds, and a commenter's
url: 930120 and 932120.
Every field keeps 932235. Add 61 requests recorded from WordPress 7.1.4
with these fields.
