:I've added the link per the discussion on the [[Talk:Crops|Crops talk page]]. If you have any ideas about how an abuse filter can distinguish between good faith external links and bad faith external links, I'm all ears!

::Thank you for the helpful response. I have two ideas: 1) simply change the message phrasing from "…identified as harmful…" to something along the lines of "sorry, we only allow admins to add external links, please ask here (link to noticeboard)". Same result, but much friendlier / more helpful. 2) require login and/or captcha when adding external link. Manual: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam .

:::I think the restriction of adding external links is exclusive to new members. Afterwards any member can add them, not just admins. I think once one becomes "semi-confirmed" (at least 10 edits and account at least 4 days old, at least according to Wikipedia) the external link restriction goes away.
