All done.

Hi, can you remove Qgil-WMF's admin role, please? I haven't used it in years. Also, I searched but couldn't find a process to request removal of special permissions. I hope posting here is ok. Thank you!

@Johannnes89 thank you very much, and I have created the request there. I looked at Project:Administrators but didn't cross my mind to check Bureaucrats as well. This is a symptom that currently I really don't deserve the admin role.  ;)

The antispam filter is blocking my regular feedback post on Talk:MediaWiki UI due to a link to your own bug tracker.

Tropicalkitty (talkcontribs)

Try removing the underscores in one of the wiki links.

Lahwaacz (talkcontribs)

It wasn't due to underscores, a link to the bug tracker seems to be the problem.

Abusefilter false-positive?

Summary by DannyS712

Spam blacklist hit, fixed

Quiddity (WMF) (talkcontribs)

I was told that creating a full URL plaintext link to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Relations_Specialists triggers a spam filter. I tested & confirmed, and am now confused. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/9oLm7ma.png

It only seems to occur if the last 3 characters of "Specialists" are included. If I remove the "sts" it saves.

Nothing is appearing in Special:AbuseLog.

I'm not sure if I'm forgetting a related aspect, or if there's a flaw in a filter. Could someone with AF expertise weigh in? Pinging user:Leaderboard and User:DannyS712 as recent AF editors. Thank you!

DannyS712 (talkcontribs)

Its not an abuse filter, its the spam blacklist

Hi. Damianos133 (talk contribs) is making unhelpful edits and I can find no standard way to warn them or preview my edits with Flow. Template:uw-vandalism1 made a mess the last time I used it here. Also, topic creation here doesn't seem to count as real editing.
