Abusefilter false-positive?

Spam blacklist hit, fixed

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!
