I just wanted to create a proposal on wiki.

{{Proposal_Page
|name=intersection_with_equal_roads
|user=HiB
|key=highway
|value=equal_roads
|type=n/a
|definition=give way to the vehicles coming from the right
|appearance=n/a
|status=
|draftStartDate=2013.09.14

}}

Proposal<br>

Rationale<br>

Examples<br>
if there is no any traffic signals, or restrictions in an intersection, than this tag should by defined inner city<br>
Tagging<br>

Applies to<br>
intersection node<br>
Rendering<br>
a cross sign as in the route sign<br>
Features/Pages affected<br>
Comments<br>
This usage of this route sign is common in Hungary often hard to detect whether the intersection is equal or not, if this sign is missing. driver should looking for a give a way sign.<br>

But I can not save the page, and I got the following error:

And the link of the page I wanted to edit/create is: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Intersection_with_equal_roads

Most probably you triggered spam bot because of not so great formatting of your text. See mediawiki formatting for better text formatting.

PS! Your proposal does not cover left hand traffic.

i can not see any issue with the formatting - maybe the new line - but I could not find any other way defining new line

You shouldn't use <br> tags in the wiki. To start a new paragraph, just leave a empty line. Also, it would probably be better to use headings for each section. eg ===Tagging===
