Hi!

I try to save a modification of the wiki page http://wiki.dlang.org/LDC and get the error message

Please use canonical links when linking to the D forum. See http://forum.dlang.org/help#canonical for more information.

The root cause seems to be this line:

* [http://forum.dlang.org/group/digitalmars.D.ldc LDC discussion forum] (also available via NNTP and a mailing list interface, see the forum index)

This is no link to a thread - the check should not be applied here.
Any thought how to work around this?

Regards
Kai

Sorry about that. It was caused by an existing link in the article, I've fixed it now. I thought I've fixed all thread links before enabling the new edit filter, but apparently MediaWiki's search lied to me.
