Today I received a notification from WordPress asking me to moderate a submitted comment.
The specific wording that they used was, "a new trackback is waiting for approval.
Hi Stephen perhaps this training by Christopher will explain it all.
Trackbacks as well as pingbacks were fine in the old days but now they are mostly abused by spammers hence your comment you received. How To Disable Pingbacks & Trackbacks In WordPress
I'm glad you asked this question. I've received several of these notices lately. For the reasons you mentioned, I took them as spam and deleted them.
I'm hoping someone here can clarify this better.
I'm leaning towards spam but like you said, I am hoping for a better explanation than I have found.
Hopefully something from experience.
Thanks for your added interest!

Yesterday, I published an article on my blog and today when I click on it I get the Oops...
Any ideas?
I just went in to my dashboard and added categories. Then I updated.
Then I updated the article.
That seems to have worked.
I had already tried to clear cache and refresh to no avail.
It looks to be fixed.
