So, I'm just thinking out loud here to blow off steam. I've seen mod_security block MW edits and some other weird things on shared hosting.
Apparently, a shared host I admin for a project must have enabled some type of proactive scanning with ClamAV or more like a ClamAV Frankenstein and it is throwing false positive on RedirectSpecialPage.php. Trying to add it back manually, I can create the file but as soon as I add in the code. the host deletes it. I tried uploading it. Denied with message -> "The file you uploaded, RedirectSpecialPage.php, contains a virus so the upload was canceled: YARA.blackhole_basic.UNOFFICIAL FOUND" Obvious it is a false positive, but WOW. Posting just in case someone else is dealing with a stupid hosting provider who likes to flip switches and fails to poll then review the consequences before actually flipping the switches.
