- [[OpenSCAD User Manual/Input Devices]] (filter log)
- Description
- I was trying to improve the OpenSCAD input device manual, and added some links to the Debian and Arch linux wikis. Nothing too objectionable. I did spend some time making sure I was improving that page, so it'd be nice if those changes are accepted.

Done – The edit for this report has been implemented, however no changes to the filter were made. Note that I removed the last sentence, which is unnecessary. Otherwise, your edit looked fine to implement. Codename Noreste (discuss • contribs) 18:56, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

The edit was blocked as likely vandalism. While you weren't attempting to vandalise, you were copying and pasting text from Wikipedia which is a breach of the site license. If you wish to import text from Wikipedia, please request an import at WB:RFI MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 09:35, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

- Done – The edit for this report has been implemented, however no changes to the filter were made. Though I'll put in a separate edit to fix your link, since it appears to be dead, and I've found a working one online. EggRoll97 (discuss • contribs) 03:45, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
Makerofjacket
Hello, I attempted to add an external link to makerofjacket.com as a relevant reference for leather fashion and design. The brand is mentioned in the context of leather skirt styles and is directly related to the subject.
This is not promotional or spam content the link supports the topic and gives readers a source for further exploration.
- It is spam, as is your username, so you are now blocked. MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 13:21, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

- Swedish (filter log)
- Description
- I wanted to add the Swedish Phrasebook from Wikivoyage in the See Also section. Other WikiMedia sites related to the Swedish language were linked and I wanted to add this as well.
My reason is through researching language acquisition people recommend using phrasebooks as a good starting place for learning essential grammar/words.
If this is inappropriate I apologize and won't do it again.

- Not done – The filter is working properly. @ValWinter: I don't think this needs to be in there, as the Swedish language sites are probably enough, but thank you for your contribution! EggRoll97 (discuss • contribs) 03:48, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- For filter 7, this shouldn’t have tripped on Wikipedia URLs which are disallowed by another filter. I'll try to fix that filter later, and perhaps filter 44. Codename Noreste (talk · contribs) 03:51, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Codename Noreste: I might suggest, by the way, that Special:AbuseLog/305229 should not have been disallowed on this page, in the interests of allowing a user to report a perceived false positive to the noticeboard. EggRoll97 (discuss • contribs) 04:12, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

- EggRoll97:
Fixed by administrator Codename Noreste. I tested this, and the false positive hit did not match. I also excluded some Wikimedia domains in addition to <ref. The filter should now trip if http is in added_lines then added_links. Codename Noreste (talk · contribs) 04:24, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
