Broken Abuse Filter
Hi guys,

can you please have a look at the AbuseFilter and fix the wrong blocks, which it is making? E.g. see the block of my IP 88.130... from today (December 2nd), 13:30 o'clock.

I was answering a support request on the Support Desk and in the answer I wanted to include a link to an older Support Topic. The topic name is one of these random numbers. As soon as I try to point to a topic, it incorrectly blocks me, telling me, I would be a spam bot doing a mass attack.

It would be great, if this broken spam filter could be fixed, so that it at least properly allows mediawiki.org links again.

Cheers!

 * Internal links inside mediawiki.org also are not working correctly. This misconfiguration currently prevents me from helping users at the Support Desk. --88.130.73.233 15:45, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello! Thanks for mentioning the problem here, and sorry for any inconvenience :( I changed the filter to not block users anymore and the filter rules should be more specific when identifying the real spam and let you post links :) Please give me some feedback, if you still have problems :) Best! --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 16:45, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Florian,
 * it is better now, but the problem is not yet solved.
 * Links to Flow topics and internal links with twice two square brackets seem to be working correctly now.
 * What is not working yet, are external links to mediawiki.org. E.g. a link to api.php or a link to the history function with an old revision or so. --88.130.73.233 19:00, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Remove Flow of my talk page
Hello, it is that Flow is active in my talk page (no it did) and I do not want that system, can help me to remove it. Thank you. -- Alvaro Molina  (Let's Talk ) 21:42, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You should be able to turn it off at Special:Preferences. Please let us know at Talk:Flow how you would improve the feature, or what you had problems with. Thanks! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 04:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, I want the same as Alvaro Molina; I've done as you said but my talk page is still a Flow page.--Syum90 (talk) 16:05, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixed for you. As above, please give us any feedback at Talk:Flow that you can. Thanks. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 17:02, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I deleted AlvaroMolina's talk page because it was still under Flow, and was showing under speedy deletion. It seems I also can't disable Flow by normal means for myself (the feature is added on all uncreated anon. talk pages, among other areas). Tropicalkitty (talk) 19:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Now fixed that, too. (Using special:ChangeContentModel, as opposed to special:EnableFlow (this auto-archives existing content), both of which are available to admins on this wiki). Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 17:47, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know about that. Tropicalkitty (talk) 17:55, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much :-) I will provide my reasons at Talk:Flow as you asked.--Syum90 (talk) 06:42, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
