Bug in rubygarden's link spam protection?

I'm trying to edit

  http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?action=edit&id=VimRubySupport

I've added a few lines, with NO urls, and I hit "preview"...

Bang: Edit cancelled, Illegal External Links

Is this intended? Are they even broken?

Cheers,
Sam

The illegal URLs were there already; you have to fix them, even if you
didn't add them. (I've fixed them for you.)

Ok, I wasn't sure, thanks for doing it!

Thanks for that.

I just added a section, Improving Ruby Tags Support, I can see it on the
page, but I want to make a minor edit to fix a formatting problem.

When I edit, I see the page BEFORE the edits I just committed.

Is this just me, a bug in my browser cache, maybe?

Or am I in too much of a hurry, does the page need time to hit a database,
before it can be edited again?

Thanks,
Sam

I see the real thing now. Hm.
