Page you were editing: Page not specified
Description: Tried to add a link to an online US literary journal under the author "Patrick Autreaux" page, in the section "Translations" - but the edit gets flagged. Maybe because the title of the translated work includes the word Pussyboy? That word is the title of the book.

Here is the page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Autr%C3%A9aux

Here is the addition I was trying to make; Excerpt from Pussyboy (tr. Tobias Ryan) in Socrates on the Beach, USA. 2025

Comments: Note: Filter probably triggered on the word "Pussy". ~ Rusty ^meow ~ 22:40, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]; Done – The edit for this report has been implemented, but no changes to the filter were made. Annh07 (talk) 11:30, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm iffy on this one. On one hand, it's a fairly legitimate edit, but on the other hand, it doesn't seem helpful to the article the template is used on. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 00:49, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also am fairly uncertain - I saw this edit before but decided to leave this to someone else. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 01:25, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description: Moving a draft to mainspace. It's not the first article I'm creating.
Date and time: 12:12, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Comments: Not done – The filter is working properly. Michaelgraaf: When moving the page, select the "(Main)" option in the dropdown menu (not "Wikipedia"), and remove your username from the text box (so it just says "Mark Thabo Weinberg"). LMK if you have further issues. ⟲ Three Sixty! (talk, edits) 13:39, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: LGBTQ rights in Nepal (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Tried to revert my own edit. Further details: I removed a map because it didn't include nepal. Then I read the paragraph below it, which is basically a written description of nepal's place in the map and provides the missing context. so I tried to revert my edit and it didn't let me and sent me here instead. please revert my edit, it's an interesting map and it is actually relevant.
