Here is a screenshot from the network tab, notice that it does a POST to https://exercism.org/maintaining/site_updates/365643:

Note that I did try to do the same POST to the https://exercism.org/maintaining/site_updates/365643/edit URL but this didn’t work.

You need to put a number in the “pull request number” box, not a URL.

@dem4ron Maybe we could guard this by changing the box to a number input?

Oh yes in fact it works like this.

I guess the error should’ve been a 400 maybe with an error message.

When I read the “url” in parentheses I imediately thought to input an url there even with the field labelled like “Pull Request number”.
