This action has been automatically disallowed.

Wiki Law School automatically prevents new users from creating pages with links to external websites. Before you can create a page with external links, you must first be an autoconfirmed user, which happens after you make a few successful edits elsewhere on the wiki and have been a user for a few days. Prior to that time, external links on a new page will be automatically rejected. (Nothing personal, just a tool we use to fight spam!)

Repeat attempts to create a page with external links before you are an autoconfirmed user will result in an automatic ban. You can see if you are autoconfirmed by going to Preferences and finding Member of group:. There you will see Users. If you are autoconfirmed, you will also see Autoconfirmed users.

For now, please edit your contribution to remove links to external websites and save the page (we recommend copying and pasting the links to a file on your computer so you don't lose your progress). Then, you can go back to edit the page and add the links where you initially intended. We know this workaround is annoying, but Wiki Law School would otherwise get a lot of spam posting. Plus, once you're autoconfirmed, you don't have to do this anymore.

If you would like to be manually promoted to the autoconfirmed user group, please leave a brief message at User talk:Lost Student explaining why. (This restriction is intended to stop spammers, so merely messaging the admin will prove that you're a human, and we'll promote you to the autoconfirmed user group.)
