Protected edit request on 9 August 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the interface page at MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed-WPWP-extendedconfirmed. (edit · history · last · links)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to fully protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Requesting the removal of the following paragraph:

Per meta:Talk:Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos_2024#Users_having_problems_adding_hashtags, an abusefilter whose purpose is to stop inexperienced competition entrants from adding images to large numbers of articles should not be suggesting that those users might like to continue doing so in a way that doesn't trip the filter.

Omitting the hashtag also means that other Wikipedia users won't know that these edits are being made at the instigation of a MetaWiki competition. Belbury (talk) 11:37, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just because someone on that project suggests that, doesn't mean it is what is best for our project. Ping to @Firefly: who added the message for any feedback. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:42, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, although it's my own suggestion as a Wikipedia editor who's been dealing with problems from this offsite project. I include the link above to show that the competition organisers do not object to it. Belbury (talk) 13:47, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
