Cannot create pages on Montenegrin Wikipedia (incubator) due to AbuseFilter filter: "You are trying to create a page without a valid ISO 639-1 or -3 code"
Closed, InvalidPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Adding more pages to Montenegrin Wikipedia (in the incubator) is impossible due to the error: "You are trying to create a page without a valid ISO 639-1 or -3 code..." (screenshots)

Montenegrin language has a valid ISO 639-3 code, check [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639:c here] or [https://iso639-3.sil.org/code_tables/639/data/c here]. It is completely in line with[[ https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incubator:ISO_639 | the requirements ]].

Also, there are already 1,968 articles with wp/cnr prefix.

It is possible to edit existing pages, but not to add a new one.

On the cnr talk page, other users were complaining about being unable to create new pages (a few last posts), and this has been happening for at least a year.

To replicate

Try adding a page on https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/cnr (with a new user?)

This is not a bug, it is caused by the abuse filter. You should request a filter modification on the Administrators' noticeboard.

Thank you @Syunsyunminmin! I asked there half a month ago but got no reply. I'll ask again

@MF-Warburg please do not close the bug without informing us on reason.
We should be learning from each other and not experiencing suppression.
This is especially relevant for new and minority users.
Thank you very much! Have a wonderful day.

You've already read the reason on Incubator and are discussing it there. This is not an issue for Phabricator. Thanks.

@MF-Warburg I was not asking only for myself but for all...
Either way IMHO your _assumption_ on Incubator should not be considered adequate neither content nor communication wise to new user. Also projects with that amount of content and history in Incubator should not be blocked based on subjective hunch. No?
