 | Warning: This action has been automatically identified as potentially harmful. Unconstructive actions will be quickly reverted, and egregious or repeated unconstructive editing will result in your account or IP address being blocked from editing.
What to do? If you believe your action was constructive, you may submit the edit again, and optionally leave a message at the community portal, explaining what you were trying to do. You do not need to include the content as that may set off the filter again; administrators can see the attempted edit in the abuse filter log. Why did this happen? It can occasionally happen that a filter aimed at repeated vandalism or spam can accidentally match constructive edits. If a filter is impeding valid edits, it will be corrected ASAP: allowing valid edits always takes precedence over filtering for vandalism. |
