Page you were editing: Costa's minimal surface (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I think the edit description says it pretty well. I was adding details to the References, changing them from the inaccurate {{Cite book}} to {{Cite thesis}} and {{Cite journal}} respectively.

I'm not sure what magic pattern tripped an edit filter. Maybe it was using the unusual Unicode blackboard bold character U+211D for the set of real numbers that tripped some emoji filter? Yes, that seems to be it. Including that character in this report prevents me from saving the report.
