This source is considered unreliable by our community, and therefore is not allowed. Please choose a different reliable source. If you used a redirect or shortened URL or a Google URL, try the original, full, non-shortened URL after following the redirect URL.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
  •  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)[reply]
