Spam Filter blocked edit
Hi there. Can you explain what you were trying to do on the Dynasty 8 page that triggered the spam filter? There is nothing in the current content that would trigger the filter, so I can only assume it was something else that you were trying to add in your edit.

 * I was trying to mark the garage-only properties by adding the word “Garage“ to the notes column of the table in the “List of all properties for sale Online” section. The error page seemed to suggest that it was the section title that triggered the spam filter, as without context it could look like an advertisement. MikeWard1701 (talk) 04:48, May 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, well firstly, we don't want "garage" in that column, because they are not marked as such in game, the other notations do match the text in-game.
 * 2ndly, I suspect you got hit with the spam filter as you are still a relatively "new" editor and hadn't reached auto-confirmed status yet. My test user did not get hit with the filter, so the issue isn't really with the page, but Fandom's over-zealous filtering. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 04:59, May 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * My bad. I thought the addition of such information would be helpful. as there’s no way of identifying garage only properties from the table as is. The Dynasty 8 website in game uses a house or garage icon in the teardrops on the map to indicate which properties are garage only, yet that information is not conveyed in the table. As I say, I thought I was being helpful and contributing to the wiki, but since all my attempted contributions to have been reverted I think I won’t bother.

 * Perhaps if you had followed the link to the fully interactive Dynasty 8 listings page, you'd notice all this information is available already. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 05:45, May 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * The Website section of the article and its links therein read more like a general description of the website in-game and its functionality. The “fully interactive” link doesn’t suggest it will take me to a replica of the Dynasty 8 website, rather a more in-depth article on what fully interactive means. But then that raises the question; if you’ve recreated the website on the wiki, complete with property listings, why have the table listing them In the article?

Good point. When I built the replica, it was originally on the main Dynasty 8 page but it was too big and complex to leave there as it made edits to that page more difficult. So I split it to a sub-page, leaving a basic table on the main page and in hindsight, didn't leave a very obvious direction to it, did I? Perhaps a 'main' link onder the Online section heading before the table would have been a better way to link to it. Much of the information is replicated elsewhere too. Like the dedicated properties, safehouses and garages articles. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 07:00, May 4, 2020 (UTC)
