Database report can't be written to Korean Wikipedia due to an abuse filter
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

It looks like one of the database reports (probably this one) can't be written by User:Community Tech bot due to the abuse filter 스팸 차단 blocking it. A community liaison should inform the Korean WP community about this.

This ended up in a deprecated part of our Phab space, but we're already looking into it.

"Filter description: 스팸 차단" = "block spam" = https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/17 (private)
The page is the same page as in the task-description: ko:위키백과:데이터베이스 보고서/버려진 토론 문서
The other 2 reports that it generates at Kowiki are being updated, it's just that first page that it's getting stopped at.

Admins are the user-group with permission to edit filters (kowiki list), and local-admins with experience with AbuseFilter will know best how to fix this.

I'll ask a colleague who is in contact with some Kowiki admins to pass this along, for their awareness.

Elitre triaged this task as Medium priority.

Quick update: Vivien has mentioned this issue to an admin, and asked them to pass it along further. They said they will look into it.
The bot appears to edit ~weekly, on Mondays, so I'll check back next week to see if it's updating that page yet.

No change this week - the bot edited the 2 other pages, but was blocked at this one.

This is Happening because some of Orphaned_talk_pages are created while creating, from spam article. We are using AbuseFilter #17 to not allowing to insert spam-like words or links without any exception unless user made 1000 edits. I made exception for Community Tech Bot for database update propose so it should be work fine now.
