[edit]

You've identified the situation accurately: the software thinks you're adding spam, simply because most people who add lots of links in this fashion are spammers. The software has no way of knowing that these are appropriate links, so it will have to be reviewed by a human; I've left a note at Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports, where people more tech-savvy than I will look at it. In the mean time, if you have any other questions, leave a note at my talk page and I'll try to help. Nyttend (talk) 15:06, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
