 I tried to edit [[doc/MetricsTimeline]], adding 6 six external links to
 lists.torproject.org domains. I got the error "Maximum number of external
 links per post exceeded" with a captcha; but even after solving the
 captcha it doesn't let me post.

 The workaround is tedious: break one edit into several edits that each add
 only a couple of links.

 A cypherpunks recently ran into the same problem while making constructive
 edits and filed #23999. They are working around it at
 [[org/projects/WeSupportTor]] by writing links as https:!!example.com
 instead of !https://example.com.

 I realize that the link limit is probably an anti-spam measure. I don't
 necessarily expect you to remove it. I just want to report these false
 positives to help you tune it. I know this ticket isn't actionable. I
 won't be upset if you close it as wontfix.
