Noticed Editing's new project, Edit check, which automatically checks VisualEditor edits for things like blocked external domains in references (the one this message relates to). I think it's helpful to add a redirect URL message, as the current spamprotectiontext message considers redirect URLs, and it's less confusing for new editors to know that redirect URLs are blocked, as well as unreliable sources. ~~2NumForIce (speak|edits) 00:47, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Wouldn't it make more sense to file this on Phabricator rather than overriding this message locally? Also ideally Citoid would resolve the URL shortener rather than complaining it is blacklisted. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:12, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Not done - with multiple reasons. @Pppery: that shouldn't be added upstream, because "shorteners" are not this problem - they are a different problem. @2NumForIce: the upstream fix that does look like it will be a better improvement is in phab:T360493 - where that sort of "false positive" could also be explained. — xaosflux Talk 14:32, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
