Thanks an enormous lot for helping out so much. Would it be a good idea to give @IdiosyncraticLawyer temporary wiki admin rights to be able to help you edit the remaining blog posts?

The list should be clear now. If you come across any remaining entries, it's likely that they're new.

I tested this in my sandbox, and all of them are blocked. There are still a lot of user pages with discord links, though.I have been given instructions about how to properly update our abuse filter for disallowed external links, so I have done so. I hope that it will work properly.

Nice.I have been given instructions about how to properly update our abuse filter for disallowed external links, so I have done so. I hope that it will work properly.
There should be nothing to worry about, we can clear them out in our spare time. At least there won't be any more new pages or blogs popping up with discord links.

Well, as you can see in the link below, the only somewhat relevant Discord links left seem to be located in blog post comments, personal user pages, and wiki sandbox pages.

I need some help with Message Wall Greeting:Apex PredatorX, which is for an account that redirects to @Apex_Predator_GX. What's it even for?

An old message wall page URL that isn’t in use anymore, I believe.
Btw, please check your DMs when you have time. @IdiosyncraticLawyer

@Dereck03 Then delete it if you can.

Uhm, I’m sure every old user has that message wall greeting section. I doubt deleting it is necessary.

Then remove the two discord links at the very least.

I thought this section was deleted with the update to the wiki back in 2020. Can I use it again?

Not that, I need you to delete https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall_Greeting:Apex_PredatorX, if that's doable.

Not possible.
Then can either of you at least edit it?

No. It doesn't allow me to edit it.

@Antvasima @AKM sama @DontTalkDT @ImmortalDread The page https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall_Greeting:Apex_PredatorX has links to both discordapp and discord, but due to the way Fandom is fundamentally coded, nobody can edit the page.

@Dereck03 For now, I made a DPL showing the relevant links we still need to correct.

Is this really a “serious problem.” Those pages are relics of a bygone era that serve zero purpose to the wiki. There’s literally no point of organizing a project involving the busiest wiki staff + Fandom admin for something that doesn’t involve our operational pages; the effects of this won’t impact wiki quality at all me thinks.

I'll do my best to blow through the rest of these pages in the coming days; if nothing goes wrong, we should be able to close this in a few days.

@Antvasima What's the current code we use to block discord links? I believe I've spotted some holes in it.

That's strange, it started working properly again when I tested it a second time. Anyway, I finished clearing out File: links from my DPL, so only User: pages are left, which, worst-case scenario, is one more week of work before we can close this.
