Getting strange 403 errors when trying to edit with following text:
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description:
I would like to edit this page, but whenever I hit "preview" something in the following text block is making it escape out to requesting the index.php file and giving me a 403 error. If I edit other sections, there is no problem, but when I try to edit this section alone or the whole page, I get the 403 error. If I delete the section altogether, it works fine, but the section is important to have in there.

I have tried deleting the <ref> tags, all links (internal and external), colons, exclamation points, ampersands, and semicolons, in combinations of one of each of those or all of them together. No luck. Am I missing something really obvious or is this a bug?

This page was easily editable under 1.8.2 (and possibly 1.10, I can't recall if I edited on that), but now does not seem to work in 1.13.0.

I get the same 403 error on a local copy of a separate wiki (same MW version 1.13.0, extensions, MySQL version 5.0) when I enter the following on its own new page:

#Download to your hard drive PDF versions of all the [[Transmittals]] from every year and every "internet only" manual. Also download all the "paper-based" manuals, which are usually in Microsoft Word format.

To do this, it is helpful to use a utility combination such as Firefox, FlashGot and curl or wget to construct a query that will allow you to download transmittals for each manual into a separate directory. See [[User:Alex|Alex]]'s reverse-engineered list of [[Transmittal File Naming Conventions]] for help in building a query. Or, if you know what you're doing with curl or [http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/faq.html#1.3 wget] (recommended over curl), you can go that route too. (Check out [[User:Alex|Alex's]] [[Talk:Medicare_Manual|instructions]] if you're interested in that route). I've found [http://www.mozilla.com Firefox] in combination with [http://www.flashgot.net/ FlashGot] and [http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/ wget] is the most user-friendly combo: It works on every modern operating system using the "Build Gallery".

Once you've downloaded them, group the transmittals into directories (folders) by manual (optional)

#Install a local search utility such as Yahoo!&reg; search, Google&reg; Desktop or MSN&reg; Desktop Search. (Optional, but highly recommended unless you're using Mac OS 10.4.x+. Windows Vista may have a local search capability built in, but I'm not sure how good it is.)
#Find the phrase in the current manual you wish to compare to the old manuals
#Search through the appropriate directory using Acrobat&reg; or Adobe Reader&reg; or one of the search utilities (Google and MSN don't let you filter by directory as easily as Yahoo!; Google is fastest, but has no PDF preview; MSN gives you a PDF preview)

If you're lucky enough to be working on a Mac OS 10.4 or higher, you just need to use Spotlight.

#Read through each transmittal where the term appears and see when/if it actually changed from the original text that was likely imported from CMS's [http://www.cms.hhs.gov/Manuals/PBM/list.asp paper-based manuals]
#If the effective date (not necessarily the publication or implementation date!) of the provision is before the date of service, generally, that provision applies.

Looks like mod_security errors. Disable that extension if you have it installed on apache and try again.
You could also use bisection to find which are the "bad" keywords.

That indeed looks like a mod_security problem or other anti-spam measure on the server. Closing as invalid because no further information was provided in 6 years...
