Hi everyone,

I've been trying to add a link to a MediaWiki host that I've had personal experiences with, but I'm getting a message "It seems that you're trying to add an external link to a page. [...] If you believe that you received this message in error or have a legitimate need for the link, please file a request at Project:Village Pump", which is what I'm doing. Can someone please look into this?

Thank you

Users who have 1.) few edits and 2.) have not been registered here for long cannot post links. After you have made x edits and been here for y days, that restriction will go away. I don't know the exact numbers for this wiki, but something like 5 edits and 14 days is common on many Wikimedia Foundation wikis.

The criteria here are very low - you can't post links as your first or second edit, with a bunch of other exceptions. RaySS1987 should be able to post a link successfully now.
