I believe this occurred because you are a new editor trying to make a large edit. Try making smaller edits. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:44, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Description: I was trying to notify Kittycataclysm, that the impersonator at Miraheze now has been globally locked, but what ever message I try to send, the message is blocked by Operator873's Filter. - The message is:

→I am a MH Volunteer. FYI, this user requested a new wiki, Global permissions and Stewardship within a day. And He/She referred to this account. So by coincident Xeverything11 confirmed my suspicion. Said user account is now disabled. I hope this takes away the awkward feeling it must give to have an imposter using your on-wiki presence. Kind regards, ~~~~←

Not even "This user has been globally locked at MH." can be posted in that topic.

Don't know what goes on, but this is weird.

@Leaderboard: Do you know why this user and the user below encountered this issue with my talk page? The filter it tripped doesn't seem to be local. Thanks! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:33, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kittycataclysm:, it's a global filter maintained by @Operator873: - you probably can't see it because it's a hidden global filter. To Operator873: the filter message says that you intended to disable it, but you enabled it later. Can you adjust the filter to make use of global edit counts at least? Also, Kittycataclysm, you may want to apply for abuse filter helper as that will allow you to view these global filters if this helps you in diagnosing these issues better (but it's optional).

@Rodejong, Raidarr: - pinging you with the explanation above. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 18:53, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. At least @Kittycataclysm was notified. And a problem discovered that can be dealt with. All in all "2 flies in one smack" Rodejong (discuss • contribs) 08:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Leaderboard I cannot. I'm no longer a steward, nor meta sysop. I'd suggest requesting that filter be disabled on Meta:SRM for assistance. Operator873 (discuss • contribs) 04:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
