After looking through it quickly it seems to do the same as most profanity checks with Dutch: it doesn't block "kut" (a crude word for female genitalia) but it does block "kunt" (third person form of "can")

  Unfortunately it seems I don't have access to that page. Do I need to be a Wikipedia editor?

    Ah, that's right—need to have had an account for four days and... to have clicked the 'Edit' button at least once? That's what the linked page says (I'm not familiar with Dutch Wikipedia specifics), but that seems like such a strange statistic to track instead of minimum edit count. So weird that I looked up how to configure MediaWiki autoconfirm requirements. They probably mean a minimum of one edit. Auto-confirmation considers only age and edit count, and I don't see why clicking 'Edit' is so meaningful a condition to warrant developing an extension. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Autoconfirmed_users https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Autoconfirmed_users Searching about extensions did lead to discovering an obscure feature: there's now a built-in URL shortener: https://w.wiki/Q8 https://w.wiki/Q8 Edit: interestingly, the single-character ones seem to have been pre-planned: https://w.wiki/e https://w.wiki/e, https://w.wiki/E https://w.wiki/E, https://w.wiki/4 https://w.wiki/4

        Yep; the account for each wiki is automatically created the first time you visit that wiki, and rights are mostly local. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login You can list your local accounts at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth
