Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Closed as a non-controversial technical request.

Shia Family Law → Shia Personal Status Law – This law is referred to as the "Shia Personal Status Law" in both the USAID translation and in a case study by the scholar Astri Suhrke (When More is Less pp. 206ff). The main reason this article exists is because of the international backslash in the aftermath of the bill's passing and signing in February-March 2009, and the leaking of a critical UNIFEM report, with "consequent loss of nuance" according to Suhrke. It seems "Shia Family Law" is a term invented by the western press, whereas "Shia Personal Status Law" is more technically correct. Uglemat (talk) 17:35, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
