• curprev 03:1303:13, 8 October 2023 GreenC talk contribs 5,979 bytes +236 copy edits for clarity since if an entire website is unsuitable it either should be usurped or blacklisted, not unfit - advertising and spam is redundant information - no need to high-lite porn when gambling sites are a much bigger problem on wikipedia eg.

• curprev 04:4104:41, 29 September 2023 SMcCandlish talk contribs 5,341 bytes +172 This appears to be correct as a factual matter; if you include that param. without the other one, then it's flagged as an error/warning to clean up. undo Tag: Manual revert
