I'm almost positive that the problem lies with Cyberbot II and not the blacklist. My best guess is that the URLs contain some sort of special character that makes parsing of the bare version end sooner, so the bare version doesn't match the existing version.

@Jackmcbarn: have you read the items in Comment 3? Please try to copy-and-paste the blacklisted link (the one starting with http://my.mail.ru in [[Elena Sheynina]], pasting it into a new empty section and save the page. The exact link that is there is then blocked. Reverting this to new, as what I did was confirm that the bot's blocked edits are a problem that is also shown to others (that is, me), and likely also blocks legitimate edits elsewhere.

I just did it, and it wasn't blocked. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elena_Sheynina&diff=622558252&oldid=621640815

I think the problem you're seeing is because the link ends with a question mark, and if used as a bare link, the question mark isn't considered part of it, which does indeed make it a different link and correctly disallowed.

So what blocked MY edits there, I copy-pasted the link as well (I tried another route, and was able to save as well). Something in the parsing seems to be strange.

The original link in the page ended with a question mark. When you added the link, it was bare, so t he question mark wasn't picked up as part of it. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=622612947 for an example. The second link there was basically what was already in the article, and the first one was the one you tried to add. Note that the question mark isn't part of it. To accomplish what you're trying to do, you'd need to add the link the way the third one there does. Unless there's anything I'm still missing, this is RESOLVED WORKSFORME.

No, it is not resolved. It gets weirder and weirder. I tried to add:

*:''Triggered by <code>\bmy\.mail\.ru\b</code> somewhere''|bot=Cyberbot II|invisible=false}}'

(the template that the bot is supposed to leave) - that does NOT work

Also adding

'*http://my.mail.ru/mail/sekhmet_oko/#page=/mail/sekhmet_oko/info?'

does NOT work

However adding:

'*[http://my.mail.ru/mail/sekhmet_oko/#page=/mail/sekhmet_oko/info? link]

does work ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elena_Sheynina&diff=622848973&oldid=622558855 diff]).

There is a difference in how the links are parsed, and which are blocked and not - see. It may still be a problem on the link itself, but this difference should not exist.

That is the exact same thing. Bare links can't end with a question mark. If you want a link to end in a question mark, you have to wrap it in square brackets. That's not a bug, though, so I'm not sure what you're saying the problem is.
