The Abuse filter blocks extremely way too many false positives, as seen in Special:RecentChanges. Piotr Grochowski (talk) 04:40, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- They are NOT false positives. Every single one is attempted spam, because someone cracked the CAPTCHA and we don't have permissions to update it. —Lidnariq (talk) 18:04, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Are you sure? They seem to be constructive edits. 79.185.223.15 15:06, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- How would you know whether they were constructive, given that they're all being blocked for attempting to add URLs? --Quietust (talk) 15:47, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- This wiki appears to be quite popular as seen by the amount of users wanting to link to external reliable sources. 79.185.223.15 19:27, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Yes. Obviously. Thousands of users all come here, never having posted anything before, to have their very first post contain a URL. Sounds legitimate. By the way, I have a bridge to sell you. —Lidnariq (talk) 19:40, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
