Page you were editing: Tralalero Tralala (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Hi. I came across the Tralalero Tralala article when researching Italian Brainrot. It initially confused me, since it already had a page on Wikipedia, but I still felt I could contribute to it a little, so I edited the External Links section to add the Tralalero Tralala article on the new Italian Brainrot wiki, which was made right after Fandom closed the old wiki. My edit was marked as unconstructive, and I'd like to know why. Thanks.

Comments: Not done – The filter is working properly. Technically a false positive, but fandom isn’t reliable (see WP:FANDOM) so it wouldn’t be advisable to put that link on the external links section of the Wikipedia page. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 04:25, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
