Description: So I was adding social links to my own personal page and tripped the safety feature.

Due to how Mastodon has the username typed out, it will look like an email address. So it looks like I tripped Wikipedia's "no email linked" safety feature. Unsure if there is another way that can format a user's Mastodon username when referencing them in text, is there a way that this can either be allowed and/or a way for the safety feature to detect if it is a Mastodon user account vs an email account?

Comments: You could possibly get through it by adding invisible comment breaks in the middle and then removing them, though I can’t see the filter code, but that might work. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 07:02, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have given it a try, adding it between the username and instance site, no use. I guess I will just add a forward slash in between them, see if that works. ILM126 (talk) 07:30, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, that works. Page has been updated and I guess rules going forward would be just to ensure a forward slash between username and instance url.

Thanks for your help :) ILM126 (talk) 07:31, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Description: I added in three hypelinks for three games that are mentioned in the page, The Witcher 1, The Witcher 2 and Defender's Quest.

There is already a link for The Witcher 2 in a later section of the page, but the link I added for The Witcher 1 is in a list with The Witcher 2 so I thought it would look weird without a link to it.

Date and time: 23:15, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
Comments: Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. This photo is not very important on its own, and information about it doesn't justify a paragraph on it. If you find sources on controversy surrounding this photo, a sentence or two can be added. Can we get this filter to exclude links, maybe not to block the edit when the word is connected with hyphens, that's how most links would connect it. Editors interested in sexuality will probably encounter this problem as well. --(Roundish ⋆t) 12:58, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Description: Noticed this while patrolling the edit filter log, the username "Ponyo Lune" was blocked by the edit filter for "LTA targeted usernames" (private, don't know exact id). I assume this is to prevent impersonation accounts targeting Ponyo, but there are legimtate other uses of the term that we probably shouldn't be blocking like this.

The fact that he has not had vaginal intercourse or any sexual contact with a man prior to his rapper and assault is essential to his testimony that he in no way consented to any of the acts forces on him in the car like Lotter claimed in numerous interviews and his testimony.
