Comment (by iandunn):

 > The full regexp for URI_WPADMIN is ,/wp-admin/\w+/,i so it shouldn't
 match /wp-admin/comment.php?action=approve…

 Ah, that's a great catch. It doesn't look like that regex will match
 `example.org/wp-admin/` either, only URLs with a subdirectory, like
 `example.org/wp-admin/network/settings.php`. That's odd that they'd only
 try to catch network-admin emails, but :shrug:

 So, maybe the scope of this ticket should narrow to only remove network-
 admin URLs? I still think it's a bad practice to include any admin URLs,
 though, because it trains users to follow the insecure practice of
 clicking links in emails. What does everyone else think?
