Bot not respecting submissions to false positive queue
Open, MediumPublic

Description

Report:

This is happening on en.Wikivoyage, the targeted links are to sub-pages of the site of the Bulgarian National Railways: https://en.wikivoyage.org/w/index.php?title=Bulgaria&curid=5063&diff=4624656&oldid=4623337&diffmode=source It's possible that the site blocks bots, or that something in the nature of those pages confuses the bot. I've reported the URLs via the "false positives" thing on Toolforge, but without any effect - the bot tagged the same links just now. Daggerstab (talk) 13:10, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Reviewing the diff, we found the URLs in question were added to the false positive report queue. This should have been sufficient in getting the bot to not act on those URLs, but the report says that this happened anyway.

We permalived all subdomains of the BDZ.BG domain and it was not removed from the queue, which is not correct behavior. This would also explain why the bot is continuing to act on those URLs when it shouldn't.
