:::::Thank you. I have to admit that AbuseFilter was responsible for a lot of unfortune confusion in the past. The "value" of this filter (56) is (and I quote this from the filter's description) to prevent «''Obscenities in all caps''»). Some vandals obviously uploaded files with that title of moved pages to such a title or posted accusions or -what ever- conaining GAY in capital letters. The filter was copied by from the English Wikipedia by [[User:The Evil IP address|The Evil IP address]] in 2009. The easiest solution is using non-capital letters (e.g. gay instead of GAY) and one could create a message that is shown when editing and the edit was prevented. Unfortunately this would even not help RenameLink because it is using the API and through the API, just a hookaborted-error is reported; so RenameLink does not know ''why'' the request was aborted (it, in fact even does not know that AbuseFilter aborted the request).

:::::So all I can offer is adding some general help like "Try another file name, ensure you are not blocked and ask at the Village Pump" to RenameLink and adding a specific message to AbuseFilter that is shown when edits are prevented by Filter 56. Do you think this would help? -- ''[[User:Rillke|Rillke]]''^{[[User talk:Rillke|(q?)]]} 21:26, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
