Dismissed a quality issue but the byline count did not change
What you are seeing
You dismissed a finding in the Page Quality panel, but the byline count did not go down.
#Why it happens
The byline leaves dismissed findings out of its count, but it works the count out when the page loads, so it updates when you reload the page.
Dismissing has no effect on five rules: Disallowed domain links, Disallowed macros, Third-party macros, Stale content and Disallowed labels. The panel still offers Dismiss for them, but the finding stays in the panel and in the count. This is a known problem.
#What to do
Reload the page.
For the five rules above, fix the page instead: remove the link, macro or label, or update the page. An admin can also change the rule on the Rules page.
