Filter #614 - the mommer/zoomer slang filter has a regex fragment disallowing the phrase "baby oil" ( |\bbaby\W?oil) which you seem to have added in your in edit (per the edit filter examine log) as a link to baby oil as this is a product the company make. The other hits were from a "private testing filter" and no action was taken - the disallow was from 614 so this is the important one here. Perhaps the filter can be modified to permit linking to our article about baby oil, by using |(?<!\[\[)\bbaby\W?oil\b(?!\]\]) (a pattern I just made, it should work and I've tested it) for the baby oil line of regex instead?
