Forbidding $r$-extension of $C_4$ -- a counterexample of the Anstee-Sali conjecture

In this note we prove $\mathrm{forb}(n,\mathbf{1}_{r-2}\times C_4)=Θ(n^{r-1/2})$, thus providing a series of counterexamples of a 2005 conjecture of the first two authors. Here $\mathbf{1}_{r-2}\times C_4$ is the $r$-extension of the 4-cycle, that is the $r$-uniform hypergraph of four edges obtained
