==How will the CRW approach April Fool's day?==

Hi, April Fool's day is next month and I don't want to initiate a discussion too late, so how would we approach it? My idea is 1) no jokes in articles, no exceptions and 2) clearly mark all jokes when they occur (I've made [[Template:April fools]] for this purpose).

:If my science textbook in school gave me a QR code that ends up rickrolling me I think I'll spend longer than 1 day being distracted about it... lol
:In my opinion they should be contained within user pages and other types of pages the common person never visits, like having it as an extra link under Wiki policy or something. It would be really bad if someone in power happens to see it the one day they get told to visit a page on the wiki. Just my two cents... but then again I'm pretty biased against the day anyway [[User:Raster|Raster]] ([[User talk:Raster|talk]]) 06:56, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

==Appeal Request==

Hello! The article [[Advertising overload]] is marked as incomplete and as relying on AI/LLMs. I believe I've addressed the original intent of both of these, though the bottom section ([[Advertising overload#Notable Examples]]) is still a stub. I think the AI status notice should be removed, and the Incomplete notice should be replaced with a Stub notice.

Cheers! [[User:Scholar Silas|Scholar Silas]] ([[User talk:Scholar Silas|talk]]) 05:52, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:{{Done}} including '''completely removing both notices''', not marking it as a stub. The article overall is very long, and if a section is all to complain about on a very long article, then it's definitely not a stub.

==add "Quasi-Wanted" Special page==

There are Wikipedia articles linked from many different CRW articles. It'd be nice to see which topics are candidates for a dedicated article on CRW. I say "topics", just-in-case a future update adds support for non-WP "pseudo-internal" links (because WP links are shown as "internal" even though they aren't)

==Appeal request for Wikipedia article==
I've been testing out the browser plugin for the last few days and noticed it popped up on Wikipedia. After reading [[Wikipedia#cite note-15]] I wanted to challenge whether this article belongs on Consumer Rights Wiki, as I don't think it fits with the [[Mission statement]] or [[Consumer Rights Wiki:Inclusion guidelines]] at time of writing.

Aside from mentioning that Wikipedia is big and influential (not necessarily a bad thing), there are two incidents listed. The first one relates to individual editors. The only citation for this mentions "Wikipedia has taken action against what it described as the “co-ordinated group” of fraudsters by blocking 381 accounts.".

The second one is similar, it refers to behaviour of editors - the first citation mentions "Wikipedias in all languages, including English, are open to edits by any volunteers", and also mentions that "one of the ... admins at Scots Wikipedia, has called for native speakers to contribute as the community seeks to save the project.".

In both cases I think this is a reasonable response from Wikipedia, they stepped in to address the issues by blocking abusive users, acknowledged the inaccuracies and called for people to help fix them. Wikipedia is free, it's hosted by a non-profit organisation and the editors are not working for Wikipedia, they are independent users of the platform. I don't think it's fair to blame them for user-generated content, and in my opinion it hurts the cause when we include articles like this alongside articles highlighting genuinely abusive business practices. [[User:DiffChar|DiffChar]] ([[User talk:DiffChar|talk]]) 23:04, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

:When this came up, I was very concerned but decided to leave it alone. Considering someone else thinks the exact same way as me, i think it's honestly a good idea atp for me to add a deletion request template (which anyone can do, by the way!) and refer back here. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|'''''AnotherConsumerRightsPerson''''']] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 16:14, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

==so...==

abt that superuser role? has it been rolled out yet? got hit in the face w a stub notice bug again lol [[User:SinexTitan|SinexTitan]] ([[User talk:SinexTitan|talk]]) 14:08, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

:another thing. Phreeli has a valid entry in [[List of products and services with forced arbitration]]. still @[[User:Louis]] supported them w a dedicated [https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=e8SnNNq6MaI video], in which he states "so this is a company we started" and claims to be an unpaid board member. so I ask, what the fuck? Louis said to give a fuck abt consumer rights but he is not your savior. the video was released on 2025.12.19 and the citation on the list was archived on 2026.01.13, so it can be argued that it could be a development after the video was published. I have not seen him mention Phreeli since then. so I cannot say if they're still affiliated but the video is still up w no follow up (afaik). as y'all are in contact w the man, can we get a comment or perhaps an apology video w a ukulele cameo? [[User:SinexTitan|SinexTitan]] ([[User talk:SinexTitan|talk]]) 15:30, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
::I discussed that here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_twkLJbc1c
::if there's an MVNO that's open to allowing people to pay with crypto without providing a name and address, I am happy to push them in that direction & help move it along. forced arbitration sucks balls, but every carrier has forced arbitration..... so this becomes a question of, should i not help push along a carrier that allows people to sign up in a more anonymous way, because 1 thing isn't to my liking... ??? the answer to that is no.
::framework doesn't release schematics... but after a long talk with the CEO, they'll allow you to get one if you contact them & sign an NDA. that's not what I want. but it is better than if I had not engaged at all.
::if i started a phone company/MVNO, it'd have no forced arbitration '''''AND''''' allow people to sign up with anonymous crypto without providing their name.... but i'm not starting a phone company... i am too busy as it is.
::phreeli belongs in that list of products & services with forced arbitration because they have forced arbitration. [[User:Louis|Louis]] ([[User talk:Louis|talk]]) 19:59, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
:::as mentioned in my previous comment I didn't know of that video. thank you. even tho its been a week, I still haven't found the time to watch it. perhaps many of the points I've highlighted have already been discussed in said video.
:::regardless, I agree that the existence of a more private MVNO's a blessing to see in a sea full of scammers. but I still would've liked to see them not go the same route as traditional operators regarding forced arbitration. everybody's "threat" model is diff so I can understand your stance. I'm a fairly regular watcher of the channel but somehow I missed the video. and based on the view discrepancy (378k vs 41k), many others have too. the follow up video includes the announcement in its description but the title and thumbnail do not reflect it being a follow up. I would like to see this rectified.
:::now on Framework, I did not know an NDA had to be signed in order to get the schematics. I checked the article and it does not mention that. based on my 5 min search I found [https://knowledgebase.frame.work/availability-of-schematics-and-boardviews-BJMZ6EAu this] but it does not mention an NDA, just to reach out to support. could you please provide sources? I'd like to append this to the article. I don't consider it egregious but for a person looking for them, they should know.
:::I'd like to highlight a conflict here. in the video you state "so this company we started" and in [https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2009536/000200953624000001/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml this] SEC filing you're cited as a Director. I'd like to mention that I'm not American nor have any idea wtf this shit is, but I have a borderline idea on what SEC filings are. could you please explain to me what this means? ofc you yourself did not start the company but you are still listed as a director of the company.

==I think Internet Archive has excluded anything from Bambu Lab==

I was on the Bambu Lab Authorization Control System page and I noticed that a lot of the archive links didn't work so I think Internet Archive has excluded anything from Bambu Lab.

==Suggestion==

I feel we could be more clearer when it come to our date standards on the wiki, as right now I feel its lacking in clarity and causes confusion for newcomers on what the actual date format is most commonly accepted and preferred (as of right now being something like a date format of 20 Jan 2004 <s>if that makes sense</s>). Currently, when going onto the citation tab to add a source, it reads ''"Example: Format as YYYY-MM-DD (2020-12-30) or DD Mon YYYY (30 Dec 2025)".''

Additionally, I also think the product section ''(referring to the This is a list of the company's product lines '''with articles on this wiki'''. [[Example product line one]] (release date): Short summary of the product's incidents.)'' could also be more specified and informative on what users are supposed to fill out, along with specifying what to do when there's no incidents relating to any of their product, as right now it's kinda up to the users to determine what it means.

I also want to ask if you can add more sections to the parent company on the CompanyCargo template(being adding one company that's own by several other companies instead of one <s>as of current</s>) as I'm currently working on '''[[Denny's]]''' article and <sub><s>as far as I know</s></sub> there are 3 private companies that own Denny's as of the moment.

I don't mean to come off in a bad way where it's disrespectful, I meant to only state my opinion on the matter. [[User:SquidthePlummer|SquidthePlummer]] ([[User talk:SquidthePlummer|talk]]) 03:06, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

:Agree, we don't really have a specific date standard here [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|'''''AnotherConsumerRightsPerson''''']] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 05:38, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

:I have been using the DMY format since the majority of the world generally uses that. The hope for the wiki is to be an international source for consumers around the world (not just Americans), and I believe DMY to be in line with that goal. I further believe it would be better to have a consistent experience, which is why I have used the DMY format even for American companies and incidents. (Though clearly Rossmann disagreed with that, as he recently "corrected" the dates on an Amazon article from an older edit of mine.)

:As for the citations, I abbreviate the months because early on using more than three characters for the month resulted in the citation template being unhappy. It appears to have since been fixed, but old habits die hard. Not sure why the wiki template data outputs strictly numbers and that's a topic that will eventually have to be decided on in conjunction with this.

==Appeal request for YNAB article==

Hey CRW!

Today, after learning that YouNeedABudget had added forced arbitration to their ToS, I contributed [[You Need A Budget (YNAB)|my first original wiki article]]. I'd not completed each section, so it was naturally marked as a stub, but '''I believe I've satisfied the requirements for each required section, now, and that it is outside stub territory.'''

I tried to provide as many references as I could, while keeping things as relevant as I could, but as I said, this is my first article, so please let me know if there's anything else I can contribute to improve the article in any way.

The one thing I think could be better is providing the actual email sent by YNAB as its own file as a better reference, but because I am no longer personally a user of YNAB, I don't have a copy to provide, myself. I reached out to some users from the subreddit threads linked within the article to ask for some anonymized copy if at all possible, and if I get something back, I can provide that then (or, if someone else has their own copy, all the power to them to contribute it). Failing this, though, I hope that the links to the related discussion about the email's existence meets the standard of verifiability.

'''Authy''' is a free mobile app that generates random six-digit tokens to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for online services. Authy was acquired by Twilio in 2015.

==== Inability to export tokens ====
Authy does not allow the user to export their 2FA tokens to another service in order to "maintain security for our users".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Export or Import Tokens in the Authy app Not Supported Objective |url=https://help.twilio.com/articles/19753420684059 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260217105416/https://help.twilio.com/articles/19753420684059 |archive-date=2026-02-17 |access-date=2026-03-06 |work=Twilio Help Center}}</ref> This makes it harder for users to switch to another 2FA application, in return forces them to delete all their 2FA tokens and manually add set them up again in a new app.

Class action

2026-04-30T15:37:38Z

AnotherConsumerRightsPerson:

{{Delete|completely irrelevant, can just link to wikipedia}}
A [[wikipedia:Class_action|'''class action''']] (or '''class-action lawsuit''') is a type of civil lawsuit that allows a group of individuals (the "class") to make a collective civil case against an entity.<ref name=":0">https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/classaction.asp ([http://web.archive.org/web/20251206042820/https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/classaction.asp Archived])</ref> European countries use the legal term [[wikipedia:Collective_redress|'''collective redress''']], as they have a different legal framework around these kinds of lawsuits.

In the US, rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits one or more parties to "sue or be sued as representative parties on behalf" of all those similarly situated.<ref name=":1">https://charlestonlaw.libguides.com/c.php?g=1255231&p=9195720 ([http://web.archive.org/web/20260216015202/https://charlestonlaw.libguides.com/c.php?g=1255231&p=9195720 Archived])</ref> When a class action succeeds, the class receives compensation, and after legal fees, all members of the class receive a share of the compensation.<ref name=":0" /> This article discusses US law except where otherwise specified.

==Requirements==
A class action must meet all requirements under Rule 23(a) to be legally valid. The four requirements are listed below.<ref name=":1" />

===Numerosity===
<blockquote>(1) the class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable"</blockquote>

Known as the "numerosity" requirement, this means that it would be not be manageable for the court to handle every claimant as a full legal participant in the suit. Numerosity is presumed at 40 or more claimants.<ref>https://www.lexisnexis.com/community/insights/legal/practical-guidance-journal/b/pa/posts/class-action-rule-23-a-prerequisites-standards-chart-2d-cir ([http://web.archive.org/web/20251209233902/https://www.lexisnexis.com/community/insights/legal/practical-guidance-journal/b/pa/posts/class-action-rule-23-a-prerequisites-standards-chart-2d-cir Archived])</ref>

===Commonality===
<blockquote>(2) there are questions of law or fact common to the class</blockquote>

Known as the "commonality" requirement. This means that the class has a common case to be made against the defendant, either regarding what has occurred or the way it was unlawful.

===Typicality===
<blockquote>(3) the claims or defenses of the representative parties are typical of the claims or defenses of the class</blockquote>

Known as the "typicality" requirement, this means that the class action's claim actually represents the claims of its members.

===Adequacy of the representation===
<blockquote>(4) the representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class</blockquote>

Known as the "adequacy of representation" requirement, this means that the [[lead plaintiff]] (the person representing the class) has a shared interest in the case. In almost all cases, this requires that the lead plaintiff must be personally affected by the issue.<ref>https://www.classaction.org/blog/what-does-it-mean-to-be-the-lead-plaintiff-in-a-class-action-lawsuit ([http://web.archive.org/web/20260111224656/https://www.classaction.org/blog/what-does-it-mean-to-be-the-lead-plaintiff-in-a-class-action-lawsuit Archived])</ref>

==Importance for consumer rights==
Class actions are of particular importance for upholding consumer rights, as they allow claimants to receive justice when it would be too costly and time-consuming for individuals to separately seek justice on a widespread issue.

==Obstacles==
===Forced arbitration===
Companies can include [[forced arbitration]] clauses in their terms and conditions to protect themselves from many kinds of lawsuits. These clauses often restrict customers from participating in class actions.

==Organizations supporting class action==
Note the below organizations are not law firms but can provide support for those seeking to understand or pursue class actions.

===United States===
*[https://www.classaction.org/ ClassAction.org]

===Canada===
*[https://www.cba.org/Publications-Resources/Class-Action-Database Canadian Bar Association - Class Action Database]

===United Kingdom===

AnotherConsumerRightsPerson: /* Consumer impact summary */ Ah yes, the third part of advertisements

{{CompanyCargo
|Description=X Corp. is known for acquiring and rebranding Twitter and developing the AI model Grok.
|Founded=2023
|Industry=Social media, Artificial intelligence
|Logo=X Corp logo.svg
|ParentCompany=X.AI Corp.
|Type=Private
|Website=https://x.com/
}}
[[File:Twitter logo.svg|thumb|150x150px|Old logo of Twitter.]]
'''{{Wplink|Twitter|X}}''', formerly known as '''Twitter''', is a global social-media platform that facilitates real-time communication and the sharing of short messages, known as "tweets". Founded in 2006 by {{Wplink|Jack Dorsey}}, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams, Twitter quickly became a key platform for public discourse, news, and social interaction. Known for its character-limited posts and use of hashtags (#), Twitter played a pivotal role in shaping online communication, politics, and social movements.

In 2023, Twitter underwent a significant rebranding, adopting the name X, after being acquired by [[Elon Musk]] in a high-profile deal in the previous year. Elon Musk took the company private and underwent a large sweep of leadership changes including layoffs and policy shifts. X has faced scrutiny over various issues, including content-moderation practices, the de-prioritization of accessibility features, data-privacy concerns, and its handling of user-generated content.

==Consumer impact summary==
===Lack of privacy===
*X can read private messages sent through the platform.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |author= |date=4 Apr 2025 |title=X - ToS;DR |url=https://tosdr.org/en/service/195 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250318073339/https://tosdr.org/en/service/195 |archive-date=18 Mar 2025 |access-date=13 Feb 2026 |website=[[Terms of Service;Didn't Read]]}}</ref>
*X uses personal data collected from its website for third-party advertisements.
*Personal data collected include:
**Location data,
**What web page refers you to X,
**Content posted (tweets),
**Replies, and
**Interactions such as likes and follows.

===Lack of transparency===
Since its acquisition in 2022, X has faced a number of transparency concerns:
*In alignment with the downsizing of X, the communications department was unofficially disbanded.
*X has come under scrutiny for its unclear content-moderation policies, including what content is prohibited on the service. This stems partially from the inconsistent enforcement of platform rules.
*With the introduction of Twitter Blue, users were able to obtain a badge resembling one of an account verified to belong to a person or organization of importance. This incident blurred the lines between organic content and paid promotions.
*As of 2 February 2023, X has discontinued free access to its Application Programming Interface (API). This was replaced with paid plans.

===Censorship===
*X has the ability to delete content without prior notice and without a formal reason.<ref name=":1" />
*X has a binding [[forced arbitration]] clause in its [[terms of service]]. This includes prevention against [[Class action|class-action lawsuits.]]<ref name=":1" />
*X complied with requests and local censorship of people who are critical of Erdogan such as other political parties and politicians, LGBT organizations, journalists, and activists.<ref>{{Cite web |author= |title=Joint Open Letter to Social Media Companies on Censorship in Türkiye |url=https://www.hrw.org/news/2025/05/08/joint-open-letter-social-media-companies-censorship-turkiye

==Incidents==
===Twitter illegally uses collected data (''May 2022'')===
In May 2022, the [[Federal Trade Commission]] (FTC) fined Twitter $150 million dollars for using data collected for targeted advertisements. In 2011, Twitter had made an agreement with regulators in which it vowed not to share information gathered for security purposes with third-parties for targeted advertisements.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Allyn |first=Bobby |title=Twitter will pay a $150 million fine over accusations it improperly sold user data |url=https://www.npr.org/2022/05/25/1101275323/twitter-privacy-settlement-doj-ftc |website=NPR |date=25 May 2022 |access-date=4 Apr 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251025031814/https://www.npr.org/2022/05/25/1101275323/twitter-privacy-settlement-doj-ftc |archive-date=25 Oct 2025}}</ref>

Information that was illegally used for targeted advertisements includes phone numbers and e-mail addresses. The user agreed that this information will be used for services such as two-factor authentication (2FA), account recovery, and account safeguarding.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fair |first=Leslie |title=Twitter to pay $150 million penalty for allegedly breaking its privacy promises – again |url=https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2022/05/twitter-pay-150-million-penalty-allegedly-breaking-its-privacy-promises-again |website=FTC |date=25 May 2022 |access-date= |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220525213257/https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2022/05/twitter-pay-150-million-penalty-allegedly-breaking-its-privacy-promises-again |archive-date=25 May 2022}}</ref>

===Reduction in accessibility features (''November 2022'')===
Throughout the latter half of 2022, Twitter laid off much of its staff. Among these layoffs was the accessibility team, created in 2020 to improve the use of Twitter for disabled consumers. Of the many features introduced by the team, "alt-text" was added to allow visually impaired users to hear a description of an image.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Knibbs |first=Kate |title=Twitter’s Layoffs Are a Blow to Accessibility |url=https://www.wired.com/story/twitter-layoffs-accessibility/ |website=Wired |date=21 Nov 2022 |access-date=4 Apr 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250905183106/https://www.wired.com/story/twitter-layoffs-accessibility/ |archive-date=5 Sep 2025}}</ref>

As a result of the de-prioritization of accessibility in Twitter, alt-text badges were removed, making it more challenging for visually-impaired users to identify accessible content.<ref name=":0" />

===Data hack affecting millions of users (''January 2023'')===
In January 2023, X underwent a data breach that caused millions of account e-mails to be leaked.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Vallance |first=Chris |title=Twitter: Millions of users' email addresses 'stolen' in data hack |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64153381 |website=BBC |date=5 Jan 2023 |access-date=4 Apr 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260211113155/https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64153381 |archive-date=11 Feb 2026}}</ref> X, under the new ownership of Elon Musk, did not take the precautionary steps to prevent this incident. Before the data hack, X had underwent significant layoffs, including ones which affected the trust, safety, and security teams. This is directly linked to the weakening of security before the breach, as these teams were essential for identifying vulnerabilities and patching them. Moreover, the media communications team was disbanded, leading to a lack of transparency surrounding the issue.

===Terms of Service allows use of user content for training AI (''November 2024'')===
[[File:X Terms of Service 2024 screenshot.webp|thumb|527x527px]]
On 15 November 2024, X issued new [[Terms of Service]] (TOS) to allow artificial intelligence (AI) to train on user content:<ref>{{Cite web |last=Maruf |first=Ramishah |title=X changed its terms of service to let its AI train on everyone’s posts. Now users are up in arms |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/21/tech/x-twitter-terms-of-service/index.html |website=CNN |date=21 Oct 2024 |access-date=4 Apr 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260208195110/https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/21/tech/x-twitter-terms-of-service/index.html |archive-date=8 Feb 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |author= |title=Terms of Service |url=https://x.com/en/tos#current |website=X Corp |date=15 Nov 2024 |access-date=4 Apr 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260126180413/https://x.com/en/tos |archive-date=26 Jan 2026}}</ref>
<blockquote>"By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, upload, download, and distribute such Content in any and all media or distribution methods now known or later developed, for any purpose. For clarity, these rights include, for example, curating, transforming, and translating. This license authorizes us to make your Content available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same. You agree that this license includes the right for us to (i) analyze text and other information you provide and to otherwise provide, promote, and improve the Services, including, for example, for use with and '''training of our machine learning and artificial intelligence models, whether generative or another type'''..."</blockquote>
This development raises concerns over the user's right to their own intellectual data posted on X. There is also concern over the privacy implications of private conversations being used to train a public AI. This AI may also use work by content creators, artists, and writers without compensation. [[Hidden EULA language|Being buried in a large TOS]], this is a clear example of taking away the consumer's right of ownership and not obtaining adequate disclosure.

As a response to the increased backlash, X released a feature to opt out of sharing data by navigating four different menus (Settings⇒Privacy and Safety⇒Data Sharing and Personalization⇒Grok⇒Allow your posts as well as your interactions, inputs, and results with Grok to be used for training and fine-tuning).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Peters |first=Jay |title=Here’s how to stop X from using your posts to train its AI |url=https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/26/24206904/x-grok-ai-train-turn-off |website=The Verge |date=26 Jul 2024 |access-date=4 Apr 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240726163920/https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/26/24206904/x-grok-ai-train-turn-off |archive-date=26 Jul 2024}}</ref> This setting being on by default is an example of a [[dark pattern]].

===Breakage of proxies (2023 - present)===
Twitter/X has taken many measures (such as the removal of "Guest" accounts, and [[Forced account|login requirement]]) against proxies, such as [[wikipedia:Nitter|Nitter]]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Carvajal Sarabia |first=Chema |date=2024-02-19 |title=You can no longer access Twitter without an account: Elon Musk has won |url=https://en.softonic.com/articles/you-can-no-longer-access-twitter-without-an-account-elon-musk-has-won |website=Softonic}}</ref><ref><nowiki>https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/30/twitter-now-requires-an-account-to-view-tweets/</nowiki></ref><ref>https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/919</ref><ref><nowiki>https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/983</nowiki></ref>.

'''Louis Bossman''' is [[User:Louis|'''Louis Rossmann''']]'s secret [[wikipedia:Alter_ego|alter-ego]], kinda like [[wikipedia:Batman|Batman]]. Bossman is a superhuman of the species ''[https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=giga+chad Giga-Chadis]''. He's a vigilante and activist who combats crime beyond what is legally considered "crime", as current laws are incomplete.

Bossman's favorite hobby is to do ''1 push-up'' everytime a corporation does something anti-consumer, that's why his muscles ''have muscles of their own''.

Bossman's side-kick is [[Mr. Clinton the cat|Mr. Clinton the Cat]]. Sadly, because of health conditions, Mr. Clinton has had to retire from combating crime.

Bossman is well known for speaking very fast and heyeverybodyhowsitgoinghopeyourhavingalovelyday, which is his most famous quote.

This is a joke page. I am not a "glazer" or "D-rider". I wasn't paid to do this. I just wrote it for the lolz ("funi"). I'm not even close to being Louis' "#1 fan". However, this is also not sarcasm/irony/trolling, I respect Louis like a normal person.

Ideally, this disclosure shouldn't be necessary, but "people" such as [[twitter]]-users and [[Reddit|redditors]] exist

AnotherConsumerRightsPerson: /* Proposed laws */ +UK one

Despite being called the Consumer Rights Wiki, we have surprisingly few pages on consumer rights laws... Let's change that!

The purpose of this project page is to organise the creation of articles about consumer-relevant laws from around the world. It's been started off with a few red links as well as the articles and countries we already have, but please do go ahead an add in more. Laws discussed by the wiki do not have to be explicitly consumer-rights focused, so things like laws focusing on how consumer products can be prepared (e.g. food standards laws) can be included.

There are two types of pages that we want to create here. The first are pages about existing laws that are in force, and the second are laws which are either current proposals, or past proposals that failed to become law and have since been dropped.
==Guidance for page creation==
The kinds of details which would be useful to have on a page about a law include (but are not limited to):
* The date the law was enacted
* The date from which enforcement began (if different from the enactment date)
* What the law aims to achieve
* A summary of the key provisions and requirements
* The debate and controversy surrounding its enactment
* Any notable amendments since the original enactment
* Retrospective assessments of how effective the law has been in practice (cited)
* Relevant enforcement bodies or agencies responsible for the law
* Notable enforcement actions or court cases related to the law

To help keep things sane for readers, any page about a proposed or failed law should include some term like 'draft' or 'proposed' in the page name to make it clear to readers that the law described within is not active.

At the moment, we do not have a specific page template or any metadata collection for pages about laws. The only real rules are that they need to follow all the standard wiki guidelines, as well as be included in the relevant category (e.g. laws of the United Kingdom) so that readers can find them. One of the big things here is that article writers should not attempt to interpret the laws themselves, and instead should rely on citations to back up any statements about what the laws mean in practice. If you find or create a format you really like and you think could be generally applicable to pages about laws, feel free to propose that it be made into the default.

If you spot any articles about laws already on the wiki but which haven't been included on this page, please add them in!

AnotherConsumerRightsPerson: Oh, this was for a section that you already copypasted over anyway🤦

===Manifest V3 (WIP rewrite)===
Manifest V3 is an update to the manifest structure used by browser extensions across the majority of the browser market. It was first mentioned on October 1st 2018 in a Chromium blog post<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wagner |first=James |date=2018-10-01 |title=Trustworthy Chrome Extensions, by default |url=https://blog.chromium.org/2018/10/trustworthy-chrome-extensions-by-default.html |url-status=live |website=Chromium Blog}}</ref>, saying it's aim was "to create stronger security, privacy, and performance guarantees". In the same blog post, Wagner wrote "We want to help all developers fall into the pit of success; writing a secure and performant extension in Manifest v3 should be easy, while writing an insecure or non-performant extension should be difficult."

====Early disapproval by developers====
Almost as soon as a design draft for Manifest V3 was made public, on November 9th 2018, developers disapproved of the changes proposed by it, including the developers of privacy and security-focused tools such as NoScript, AdGuard, uMatrix, and uBlock Origin.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-10-18 |title=Extensions: Implement Manifest V3 |url=https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40598795 |url-status=live |website=issues.chromium.org}}</ref> On January 22, 2019, in response to the design draft, the developer for uBlock Origin and uMatrix would go on to write, "if this (quite limited) [...] API ends up being the only way content blockers can accomplish their duty, this essentially means that content blockers I have maintained for years, uBlock Origin ("uBO") and uMatrix, can no longer exist." And also, "[...] deprecating the blocking ability of the [...] API will essentially decrease the level of user agency in Chromium, to the benefit of web sites which obviously would be happy to have the last word in what resources their page can fetch/execute/render."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-01-22 |title=Extensions: Implement Manifest V3, comment #24 |url=https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40598795#comment24 |website=issues.chromium.org}}</ref> A developer for AdGuard would second his points. A Chromium developer did not immediately answer these points, but instead directed the discussion to take place over private emails rather than the bug tracker.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-01-22 |title=Extensions: Implement Manifest V3, comment #34 |url=https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40598795#comment24 |url-status=live |website=issues.chromium.org}}</ref>

====Dataspii====
In February 2019<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Goodin |first=Dan |date=2019-07-18 |title=My browser, the spy: How extensions slurped up browsing histories from 4M users |url=https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/07/dataspii-inside-the-debacle-that-dished-private-data-from-apple-tesla-blue-origin-and-4m-people/ |url-status=live |website=Ars Technica}}</ref>, Sam Jadali begins investigating suspicious browser extensions and the developers behind them. Over time he would find eight browser extensions, primarily for Chromium-based browsers, to be collecting sensitive data from unsuspecting users, which would then be sold for profit.<ref>{{Cite web |title=DataSpii |url=https://dataspii.com/ |url-status=live |website=dataspii.com}}</ref> This would compromise the private data of as many as 4 million Chrome and Firefox users. Also impacted were companies such as Bank of America, AT&T, and even the Pentagon.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jadali |first=Sam |date=2019-12-05 |title=Tweet by Sam Jadali |url=https://x.com/sam_jadali/status/1202691665451864064 |website=X}}</ref> Each extension, as he reported them for their suspicious activity, would be removed from the Chrome Web store. However data collection '''continued for months after this'''. It's only in early July, when Google remotely disabled the extensions, that the data collection finally stopped.<ref name=":0" /> Though the disabled extensions had a notice saying, "This extension violates the Chrome Web Store policy.", the notice said nothing of the data collection or the selling of said data. At the same time the extensions could be forcibly re-enabled.<ref name=":0" />

In a statement responding to contact by Kate O'Flaherty, a cybersecurity and privacy journalist, a Google spokesperson says: "We want Chrome extensions to be safe and privacy-preserving, and detecting policy violations is essential to that effort."<ref>{{Cite web |last=O'Flaherty |first=Kate |date=2019-07-19 |title=Data Leak Warning Issued To Millions Of Google Chrome And Firefox Users |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2019/07/19/data-leak-warning-issued-to-millions-of-google-chrome-and-firefox-users/ |url-status=live |access-date=2025-11-22 |website=Forbes}}</ref> The spokesperson went on to mention, referring to Manifest V3, changes to extensions that "will mitigate or prevent this behavior," and "new policies that improve user privacy." Sam Jadali disagreed that Manifest V3 would make any meaningful change. <ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Miagkov |first=Alexei |last2=Gillula |first2=Jeremy |last3=Cyphers |first3=Bennett |date=2019-07-31 |title=Google’s Plans for Chrome Extensions Won’t Really Help Security |url=https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/07/googles-plans-chrome-extensions-wont-really-help-security |url-status=live |access-date=2025-11-22 |website=EFF}}</ref> This is because Manifest V3 doesn't make changes to how "content scripts" work, or how extensions are allowed to observe data.<ref name=":1" /> According to the EFF, "The only part of Manifest V3 that goes directly to the heart of stopping DataSpii-like abuses is banning remotely hosted code."<ref name=":1" />

Projects:Archive everything

2026-04-24T16:04:08Z

AnotherConsumerRightsPerson: /* The list */ -deleted entry

This project aims to get as many reference links as possible on the wiki switched over to archival links, instead of live links.

== The need to fight link rot ==
Everywhere on the internet, you get link rot - where linked pages either get taken offline, or changed, and the link is no longer useful for its original purpose. Link rot is a doubly serious issue for the Consumer Rights Wiki, as fairly substantial points of fact about companies or incidents may hang on our references, which will often point to a company's own website. The best available way to counter link rot is through archival, and this page serves as a hub for making sure every wiki article has its references archived.

Of particular importance are any links to central pieces of evidence used to support a claim of fact related to something a company has said or done, especially if it is on the website of a company, and can be taken down by them at any time. A reference supporting a more commonly available and frequently changing fact like 'Apple's market cap is $x' is not as important to archive as a company's FAQ, but it certainly won't hurt to do so.

Certain webpages are un-usable when archived, typically due to [[Pay-walling|paywalls]] or embedded dynamic content (typically powered by [[JavaScript]]), and archival may not be appropriate for links leading to this kind of page. Some webpages require the use of a specific archival service (e.g. PreserveTube for YouTube links). To archive pages behind registration or date-of-birth walls that archival services cannot bypass, make a screenshot of the content after getting past the wall and upload it to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive] and/or Consumer Rights Wiki; content hosted on the wiki may serve as an archival of ''last-resort'', but ideally, proper archival services should be used where possible.

== What you need to do ==
The best possible option is to archive a site in as many places as possible, but any archival link is much better than none at all.

The '''minimum''' correct formatting for an archived citation requires the title, url, archive-url, and archive-date fields and will look something like this:

<code><nowiki><ref>{{Cite web |title=FAQ – End of operations |url=https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250923061946/https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-date=23 Sep 2025}}</ref></nowiki></code>

The full list of possible additional fields can be found here: {{Wplink|Template:Cite web}}. All you need to do is archive the relevant un-archived webpage (or find an archived copy closer to the date the reference initially accessed it), and then update the reference with the archival link.

This can either be done through the source editor (in which case citations will look like the text block above) or through the visual editor's citation tool (this can be found by clicking Insert -> More... -> Citation, or pressing crtl+shift+k).

=== Archival services ===
* [https://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive] – Primary, most popular archival service, sometimes throttles/blocks VPN IPs. Upload video files and/or screenshots [https://archive.org/upload here] of content that cannot be archived via wayback machine (e.g. Twitter videos downloaded with yt-dlp).
* [https://ghostarchive.org/ Ghost Archive] – Secondary archival service.
* [https://megalodon.jp/ Megalodon] – Secondary, Japanese archival service. Can archive YouTube comments.
* [https://preservetube.com/ PreserveTube] – Specifically for archiving YouTube videos.

'''Archive.today has been deprecated.''' This is because they weaponised their site's visitors to [[wikipedia:Denial-of-service_attack#Distributed_DoS|DDOS]] some guy's blogs for bizarre internet argument reasons (which calls into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it), and it's also been alleged that they have tampered with archive pages, which hurts our ability to rely on the site as an archive which can be used to actually verify things and support the claims made in articles.

As archive.today is run by one person who has now brought a lot of scrutiny onto themselves through their actions, there's also a very real risk that they just take the site down, so where practical it would be sensible to migrate links archived using archive.today to an alternate archiving service.

The result of the Wikipedia community's discussion on this matter can be found {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5|here}}.

For guidance on replacing Archive.today links, see {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Archive.today_guidance|here}}.

===Alternative frontends & mirrors===
The following is a list of services that expose more lightweight, HTML-based, and ultimately more archive-friendly user interfaces of popular sites. '''They are not archival services in and of themselves.''' Some instances may have captchas that end up blocking certain archival services, try several.

* [https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances Nitter]: Allows for viewing Twitter/X replies without login and therefore only way to archive replies. The best way to cite Twitter/X references.
* [https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram#instances Kittygram]: Nitter-like frontend for Instagram.
* [https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md Redlib]: Lightweight like old.reddit, good for getting around 18+/nsfw gates that archival services cannot pass (some subreddits flag all posts as nsfw regardless of content).
* [https://sci-hub.st/ SciHub]: Allows for the free and open access viewing of PDFs of many papers, great for getting around academic publisher paywalls to directly archive cited papers by archiving the SciHub page hosting the PDF. Alternatively, try reaching out to original authors and they will usually be happy to provide a copy for reference/citation on this wiki.
* [[Special:Upload|Consumer Rights Wiki]]: Upload screenshots of pages or PDFs for direct quoting or if an archival service cannot get past something like a registration-wall. Do not upload more of an article than is necessary for supporting the citation. Archive the CRW link or upload the file to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive file uploads] as CRW is '''not an archive on its own'''.

==The list==
Below is a manually updated table of (hopefully) all pages on the wiki, and the current status of their references.

Pages that are missing a references section or have an empty references section are listed as "N/A" as they either do not have links that need archiving, or if they do then those links need to be correctly moved to the references section and/or the page completed/cleaned/reformatted before adding archived links, which is beyond the scope of this project (See [[:Category:Articles in need of additional work]]). This may change if references are properly added to these pages in the future.

Secure boot

{{Stub}}
'''Secure boot''', also known as '''verified boot''', is any technology that prevents the execution of non-trusted programs during the startup sequence of a computer system, such as a desktop PC or a smartphone. Its original purpose is to protect users against [[wikipedia:Rootkit|rootkits]].

==How it works==
This class of technology typically works by only allowing [[wikipedia:Digital_signature|cryptographically signed]] programs to be executed by the hardware-level [[wikipedia:Bootloader|bootloader]]. The signing is done with private keys owned by the device manufacturer (typical case for [[Android]] devices) or operating-system (OS) vendor (such as [[Microsoft]] and [[Apple]]).

Many hardware-based bootloaders don't support or allow changing the set of allowed signatures, which suggests they were made to control users rather than "protect" them.{{Citation needed|reason=speculation}}

==Why it is a problem==

===Market control===
This tech can be used to restrict the software that users can install and use. Even when it's optional, it's typically enabled by default, adding undue friction that deters users from installing alternative OSes.

==Examples==

*[[wikipedia:Uefi#Secure_Boot|UEFI]]
*[[wikipedia:Booting_process_of_Android_devices|Android]]<ref>https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/verifiedboot/</ref>

:This should probably be a Theme article. (Or possibly part of a theme article.)
:Secure boot is just one instance of a technology. Consider bootloader locking on cellphones. This is another implementation of the same idea. In microcontrollers there are various techniques for controlling the startup process (blowing a link so the firmware can not be changed, etc.)

Australian lithium battery manufacturer '''[[Deep Cycle Systems]]''' sued independent YouTuber Stefan Fischer for [[defamation]] after he published reviews documenting battery degradation & misleading warranty changes.

The company's sole director, Marek Tomolowicz, is also the sole director of two other entities: Energy Tech Electronics Pty Ltd & Tomprop Pty Ltd.<ref name="judgment" /> DCS's legal action & aggressive responses to negative reviews demonstrated the company's willingness to use litigation to suppress unfavorable feedback.<ref name="car expert">{{Cite web |last=Maric |first=Paul |title=DCS batteries suing YouTuber for 'honest' review sets scary precedent |url=https://www.carexpert.com.au/opinion/dcs-batteries-suing-youtuber-for-honest-review-sets-scary-precedent |website=CarExpert |date=14 Aug 2024 |access-date=28 Mar 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240814023810/https://www.carexpert.com.au/opinion/dcs-batteries-suing-youtuber-for-honest-review-sets-scary-precedent |archive-date=14 Aug 2024}}</ref>

Stefan Fischer runs AllOffroad 4x4 Adventures TV, a [[YouTube]] channel producing off-road product reviews.<ref name="gofundme" /> DCS provided Fischer with batteries for testing.<ref name="car expert" /> Fischer published a series of video reviews between August & December 2023 documenting excessive battery degradation & warranty discrepancies.<ref name="rgraham" /> His reviews were based on extensive real-world testing, earning him support from his audience & figures in the independent review community.<ref name="eevblog">{{Cite web |last=Jones |first=Dave |title=EEVbLAB 120 - DCS Sues YouTuber for Defamation - Threatens Entire Review Industry |url=https://www.eevblog.com/2024/08/09/eevblab-120-dcs-sues-youtuber-for-defamation-threatens-entire-review-industry/ |website=EEVBlog |date=9 Aug 2024 |access-date=28 Mar 2026}}</ref>

===DCS review===
Fischer's videos, which form the crux of the lawsuit, detail several key points:

*'''Battery degradation:''' Australia's Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) funded independent testing at the Canberra Battery Test Centre (run by ITP Renewables). The DCS PV 10.0 battery, with a 10kWh nameplate capacity, reached a state of health of approximately 57% after roughly 1,100 cycles. The battery could not sustain discharge at its rated C3 rate, shutting down well before the expected energy was delivered.<ref name="arena">{{Cite web |author=ARENA |title=Public Report 12 (Final Report) - Lithium-ion Battery Testing |url=https://arena.gov.au/assets/2018/05/lithium-ion-battery-testing-public-report-12.pdf |website=ARENA |date=Mar 2022 |access-date=28 Mar 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230428135852/https://arena.gov.au/assets/2018/05/lithium-ion-battery-testing-public-report-12.pdf |archive-date=28 Apr 2023 |format=pdf}}</ref> These results showed the worst capacity fade & operational limitations among all batteries tested in the program.

[[File:DCS warranty policy archive march 2023.png|thumb|right|Screenshot of DCS warranty policy website from March 2023, which says battery will be replaced within warranty period if it falls below 80% capacity in warranty period.<ref name="warranty-nov">{{Cite web |title=DCS Warranty, Shipping & Return Policies |url=https://www.deepcyclesystems.com.au/shipping-return-policy/ |website=DCS |url-status=live |archive-url=https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20231107111343/https://www.deepcyclesystems.com.au/shipping-return-policy/ |archive-date=7 Nov 2023}}</ref>]]

[[File:DCS warranty policy archive november 2023.png|thumb|Screenshot of DCS warranty policy website from November 2023, which says battery will be replaced within warranty period if it falls below 70% capacity in warranty period if it is used a certain way. This text was ''not'' included in prior warranty policies. However, the page still says "Policy last updated 14th JUNE 2021.", which misleads customers into believing their warranty at the point of sale claimed 70% was considered defective even if it was 80% at the time of the customer's purchase.<ref name="warranty-nov" />]]

*'''Misleading warranty terms:''' Fischer pointed out discrepancies between the warranty claims posted on DCS's website & the apparent changes in policy. While the company's warranty page stated it was last updated on 14 June 2021, archived versions of the page from March 2023 & November 2023 revealed the terms had changed without updating this date.<ref name="warranty-nov" />
**The March 2023 policy states: "The battery will be determined to be defective if it fails to deliver less than 80% of its rated capacity during the warranty period."<ref>{{Cite web |title=DCS Warranty, Shipping & Return Policies |url=https://www.deepcyclesystems.com.au/shipping-return-policy/ |website=DCS |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20230309064156/https://www.deepcyclesystems.com.au/shipping-return-policy/ |archive-date=9 Mar 2023}}</ref>
**The November 2023 policy had changed: "The battery will be determined to be defective if it fails to deliver less than 80% of its rated capacity during the warranty period for normal installations. The battery will be determined to be defective if it fails to deliver less than 70% of its rated capacity during the warranty period when installed inside engine bays or engine compartments."<ref name="warranty-nov" />
**This change weakened consumer protections for engine bay installations while the "last updated" date was never changed, creating the impression that the 70% threshold had been the policy since 2021.

[[File:DCS battery poor performance.png|thumb|DCS battery capacity vs. other brands: DCS ranks worst by large margin, reiterating Stefan's skepticism about the quality of the products DCS provides with regards to longevity and capacity.<ref name="arena" />]]

*'''Australian government testing:''' The ARENA-funded Phase 3 Capacity Test Results (Section 6.3 of Public Report 12) confirmed the DCS battery performed worse than every other battery in the test, validating Fischer's concerns about the battery's real-world reliability.<ref name="arena" />

==Lawsuit==
On 2 May 2024, DCS filed a defamation lawsuit in the District Court of Queensland (Proceeding Number 1169 of 2024).<ref name="judgment" /> The lawsuit alleged that Fischer's reviews were defamatory & malicious, claiming the negative publicity had caused the company economic losses. DCS sought compensatory damages, aggravated compensatory damages, interest, & legal costs; the sum was left "to be determined."<ref name="car expert" />

Fischer's community rallied around him. A GoFundMe campaign titled "Help Fight for Truth in YouTube Reviews" was created on 18 June 2024 & raised $118,577 AUD from 2,237 donors against a $140,000 AUD goal.<ref name="gofundme" />

===Chilling effect on reviewers===
The legal threat drew concern from content creators & independent reviewers. Electronics YouTuber Dave Jones (EEVBlog) warned that if DCS won, "it will be a threat to the entire review industry."<ref name="eevblog" /> A tech blog covering the case documented that right-to-repair advocate Louis Rossmann called DCS "scumbags" on his channel & stated "it's not defamation if it's true," directly challenging DCS to sue him as well.<ref name="l2sfbc">{{Cite web |title=Louis Rossmann Supports Stefan Fischer, Calls DCS 'Scumbags' and Issues Fiery Challenge |url=https://l2sfbc.com/louis-rossmann-supports-stefan-fischer-calls-dcs-scumbags-and-issues-fiery-challenge/ |website=L2SFBC |date=24 Jul 2024 |access-date=28 Mar 2026}}</ref>

Commentators described the case as a textbook example of the "Streisand effect": DCS's attempt to suppress the reviews drew far more public attention to the criticisms than the original videos had received.<ref name="plexus">{{Cite web |title=Influencer Marketing Isn't Always a Free Ride for Companies |url=https://www.plexus.co/resources/blog/influencer-marketing-isnt-always-a-free-ride-for-companies |website=Plexus |date=11 Aug 2024 |access-date=28 Mar 2026}}</ref> Since the news broke, DCS took down its Facebook page, & ProductReview reported detecting suspected fake positive reviews on DCS's listing.<ref name="car expert" /> Fischer, who had initially privated his DCS review videos, re-published them after the community response.<ref name="gofundme" />

===Outcome===
On 11 March 2025, the District Court of Queensland ruled that DCS could not maintain its defamation action against Stefan Fischer.<ref name="judgment" />

Under section 9 of the ''Defamation Act 2005'' (Qld), a for-profit corporation can only sue for defamation if it qualifies as an "excluded corporation." This requires the corporation to have fewer than 10 employees (broadly defined to include contractors subject to the company's control & direction) AND not be an associated entity of another corporation.<ref name="defamation-act">{{Cite web |title=Defamation Act 2005 - Section 9 |url=https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/qld/consol_act/da200599/s9.html |website=AustLII |access-date=28 Mar 2026}}</ref> DCS failed on both tests.

The court found that:

*DCS failed to prove it had fewer than 10 employees. The company had at least five known employees, but unexplained research & development expenditure of $2,759,940 (FY2022-23) & $621,154 (FY2023-24) raised the prospect of additional undisclosed staff. Mr Tomolowicz's own prior statements about overseas workers & "having recently hired four new staff" further undermined DCS's position.<ref name="judgment" />
*DCS was an associated entity of Energy Tech Electronics under section 50AAA of the ''Corporations Act 2001'' (Cth). Both companies shared Mr Tomolowicz's personal credit card for expenses (reconciled only yearly), had inter-company loans (including $119,713 from Energy Tech to DCS), & shared physical assets including a Landcruiser, trailer, & mobile phone. The court concluded both companies operated as "joint means of generating income for the benefit of Mr Tomolowicz."<ref name="judgment" />
*Mr Tomolowicz admitted to using a fictitious AI-generated employee called "Michelle" to correspond with customers. The judge stated that Tomolowicz "seemed entirely unperturbed that it was a misrepresentation as to who the client was dealing with."<ref name="judgment" />
*The judge found Tomolowicz's testimony unreliable, noting he admitted telling "mistruths" to Fischer & had falsely claimed DCS held a 30% stake in a manufacturing facility in China.<ref name="judgment" />

The court never reached the merits of whether the reviews were actually defamatory. DCS's claim failed purely on jurisdictional grounds: the company could not establish it had fewer than 10 employees, & it was an associated entity of another corporation, so it had no standing to sue for defamation.<ref name="rgraham">{{Cite web |last=Graham |first=Richard |title=Understanding Excluded Corporations in Australian Defamation Law |url=https://www.rgraham.com.au/blog/2025/8/2/understanding-excluded-corporations-in-australian-defamation-law |website=Richard Graham Lawyer |date=2 Aug 2025 |access-date=28 Mar 2026}}</ref>

===DCS's response===
On 17 March 2025, DCS published a statement saying it was "deeply disheartened" by the ruling & claiming Fischer's reviews were motivated by grievance after DCS declined to provide further free products. The company did not announce an appeal.<ref name="dcs-statement">{{Cite web |title=DCS Statement Regarding Outcome of Court Decision |url=https://www.deepcyclesystems.com.au/dcs-statement-regarding-outcome-of-court-decision/ |website=Deep Cycle Systems |date=17 Mar 2025 |access-date=28 Mar 2026}}</ref> The 28-day appeal period passed with no public evidence of an appeal being filed.

===Cost recovery===
Despite the court ordering DCS to pay Fischer's legal costs ("standard costs"), DCS refused to pay. Fischer's legal team advised that "standard costs" would likely cover only a portion of his actual expenses.<ref name="gofundme-update9">{{Cite web |last=Fischer |first=Stefan |date=22 May 2025 |title=Help Fight for Truth in YouTube Reviews Fundraiser Update 9 |url=https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-fight-for-truth-in-youtube-reviews |url-status=live |access-date=28 Mar 2026 |website=GoFundMe |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251102145025/https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-fight-for-truth-in-youtube-reviews |archive-date=2 Nov 2025}}</ref>

In October 2024, 85 organizations including the Human Rights Law Centre & Australian Conservation Foundation wrote to Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus calling for federal anti-SLAPP laws.<ref name="hrlc">{{Cite web |title=Anti-SLAPP Laws |url=https://www.hrlc.org.au/news/2024-10-31-anti-slapp-laws/ |website=Human Rights Law Centre |date=31 Oct 2024 |access-date=28 Mar 2026}}</ref> The HRLC's December 2024 report ''Stop the SLAPP'' recommended all Australian governments enact anti-SLAPP legislation.<ref name="hrlc-report">{{Cite web |title=Stop the SLAPP: Protecting Free Speech in Australia |url=https://www.hrlc.org.au/reports/2024-12-5-stop-the-slapp/ |website=Human Rights Law Centre |date=5 Dec 2024 |access-date=28 Mar 2026}}</ref> No federal anti-SLAPP bill has been introduced in the Australian Parliament as of March 2026.

The DCS case joins a pattern of Australian corporations using defamation law to target critics. Previous examples include the Gunns 20 case, where Tasmanian timber company Gunns Ltd sued 20 environmentalists, & the Greenpeace vs AGL dispute over criticism of AGL's environmental practices.<ref name="obrien" />

Welcome to my page about [[wikipedia:Unix-like|anything Unix]]! Here you can learn about [[wikipedia:Linux|Linux]], [[Android]], and maybe even [[wikipedia:RedoxOS|Redox]] and [[wikipedia:Berkeley_Software_Distribution|BSD]].

The purpose of this page is to raise awareness about [[wikipedia:Operating_system|OSes]] that respect their users, and to propose them as alts for [[Microsoft Windows|Microslop Winbloats]] and [[Apple macOS|Crapintosh]]. I know there are non-*nix systems that also honor their users, but "Unices" are more standard (both in practice, and [[wikipedia:POSIX|in theory]]), so it's more pragmatic to recommend *nix.

==Why Unix?==
This is the part where I sell you the benefits of *nix systems. Imagine a [[wikipedia:List_of_Undertale_and_Deltarune_characters#Spamton|salesman]] voice, lol:

*Tired of getting your data [[Data brokers|collected]], sold, and [[wikipedia:Data_breach|leaked]]?
*Tired of over-hyped AI being forced onto everything?
*Frustrated by lack of transparency and documentation? (and meaningless error messages?)
*Tired of being treated like a toddler?
*Don't have patience to deal with [[Bloatware|bloat]]?

Oh dear, do I have a deal for you! *nix is what you need:

*Private and secure: No telemetry by default.
*No AI, unless you want to run a self-hosted model.
*Open-source (better than [[wikipedia:Source-available_software|source-available]]!): naked internals; freedom to modify and redistribute (depends on license)
*Lightweight and blazing-fast ⚡: install only what you want; wanna remove the [[wikipedia:Bootloader|bootloader]]? sure [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/EFI_boot_stub you can]!
*File oriented: wanna see battery temperature? just <code>cat</code> [[wikipedia:Sysfs|its file]]; wanna flash a USB? just <code>cp</code> the image to the [[wikipedia:Device_file|raw device]]! No need for special tools.

==Choosing a distro==
While I agree that recommending [[wikipedia:Linux_Mint|Mint]] to beginners is fine (it'd be better if it wasn't based on [[Ubuntu]]; though [[wikipedia:Linux_Mint#LMDE|LMDE]] seems promising), please DO NOT even imply that "[[wikipedia:Debian|Debian]] is hard". I might be biased, but installing and using Debian as a daily-driver is easier than ever.

With that out of the way, keep in mind that Linux gives you the freedom to install any [[wikipedia:Desktop_environment|desktop-environment]] (DE) you want! So if you care more about the system [[wikipedia:Graphical_user_interface|GUI]] than pre-installed apps, just choose one of the following:

*Debian: the big daddy/momma of all popular distros. If outdated packages are a concern, install [https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting Testing] rather than Stable. See [https://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#faq the FAQ about anything remotely related to Debian] (multi-language).
*[[wikipedia:Arch_Linux|Arch]] ([https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=i%20use%20arch%20btw BTW]): cutting-edge packages; low (not minimal) bloat; nice documentation.
*[[wikipedia:NixOS|Nix]]: most popular immutable distro; easily roll-back any problematic upgrades (unlike Arch).<ref>https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate/blob/bbbc16c32d6f4f69b0ba50c4199179c7e5b0ff62/scripts/38-nixos.md</ref>
*[[wikipedia:Bazzite_(operating_system)|Bazzite]] (see also [[SteamOS]]): for gaming.
*[[wikipedia:PostmarketOS|PMOS]]: for smartphones and tablets.

===Android===
If you need Android but your [[List of phones that do not allow bootloader unlock|BL is perma-locked]], you can install [[wikipedia:Termux|Termux]], as it's more lightweight than a [[wikipedia:Virtual_machine|VM]]. If your [[Bootloader unlocking|BL is unlocked]], then try installing a [[wikipedia:List_of_custom_Android_distributions|custom "ROM"]] (I hate that term so much. It's clearly a [[wikipedia:Misnomer|misnomer]]). List of suggestions:

*[[GrapheneOS|Graphene]]
*[[wikipedia:LineageOS|Lineage]]
Note that you might not need a ''real'' Android device: you can install [[wikipedia:Waydroid|Waydroid]] on a regular distro.

==Choosing a DE==
There are 2 major options:

*If you like non-[[wikt:clutter|cluttered]] [[wikipedia:User_interface|UIs]], choose [[wikipedia:GNOME|GNOME]]
*If you like [[wikt:versatile|versatility]] and [[wikipedia:Ergonomics|ergonomics]], choose [[wikipedia:KDE_Plasma|KDE Plasma]]

Everything else is "less standard", but still worth trying:

*[[wikipedia:Cinnamon_(desktop_environment)|Cinnamon]] is the default on Mint
*There's also [[wikipedia:Xfce|Xfce]], if you want less bloat, but I've read that nowadays its [[wikipedia:Memory_footprint|memory footprint]] is in the same [[wikipedia:Guesstimate|ballpark]] as Plasma and GNOME.{{Citation needed}}

==Choosing a shell==
<blockquote>Um acshually 🤓, "[[wikipedia:Shell_(computing)|shell]]" can refer to any kind of UI, not just text interfaces</blockquote>Yes, but for the purposes of this page, "shell" will refer to [[wikipedia:Read–eval–print_loop|REPL]] and [[wikipedia:Command-line_interface|CLI]] programs.

Let's be honest, [[wikipedia:Bash_(Unix_shell)|Bash]] and [[wikipedia:GNU_Readline|Readline]] have '''terrible defaults'''. No wonder [[wikipedia:Z_shell|Zsh]] and [[wikipedia:Fish_(Unix_shell)|Fish]] are so popular. HOWEVER, let me be clear that Bash can approximate the ergonomics of Zsh ''really well'', given that you configure it properly.<ref>https://github.com/Rudxain/dotfiles/blob/d02045700129609f2c6dfa91ebf9a54a9d81b012/.config/inputrc</ref><ref>https://github.com/Rudxain/dotfiles/blob/d02045700129609f2c6dfa91ebf9a54a9d81b012/.config/sh/rc#L24-L28</ref><ref>https://github.com/Rudxain/dotfiles/blob/d02045700129609f2c6dfa91ebf9a54a9d81b012/.bashrc#L5-L10</ref>

I haven't tried Fish, because it looks bloated. However, I'd recommend it over Zsh, simply because Zsh is too similar to Bash. If you use a non-POSIX shell, why not go all the way and enjoy the benefits? ;) (the Zsh condition [https://pointersgonewild.com/2024/04/20/the-alternative-implementation-problem/ is sad])

Since we're talking about "anti-POSIX", maybe try [https://www.nushell.sh/ Nushell]? It's too weird for me, very "[[wikipedia:PowerShell|PowerShelly]]", lol.

==Usage==
Your distro (and most installed packages) should have docs available locally as [[wikipedia:Man_page|<code>man</code>-pages]] or in <code>/usr/share/doc/</code>. Most DEs have a "Welcome" app that auto-starts on first login, so you should be good to go.

And please:

*Don't be afraid of the [[wikipedia:Terminal_emulator|terminal]]! Terminals are your friend. Don't let Big <s>Brother</s> Tech tell you otherwise. Although even then, if you use Mint or another user-friendly distro, you might not even need to touch the terminal.
*Don't be afraid of CLI apps!<ref>https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-GUI</ref><ref>https://github.com/jlevy/the-art-of-command-line</ref> Except <code>rm</code>, that one is dangerous unless you add <code>[https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/rm.html#:~:text=%2Di,-Prompt -i]</code>. See [https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#I-used-rm-to-remove-a-file_002e-How-can-I-get-it-back-now_003f how to recover deleted files].
*Don't be afraid of [[wikipedia:Unix_shell|shells]]! except Bash, that one is a menace.<ref>https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls</ref><ref>https://github.com/anordal/shellharden/blob/1e629728e37d2e78dd3a06ed69cd54e2f66b87b0/how_to_do_things_safely_in_bash.md</ref><ref>https://github.com/oils-for-unix/oils/wiki/Shell-WTFs</ref><ref>https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/issues/3067</ref> I use Bash daily but I recommend [https://oils.pub/ Oils].

==Wiki search engine indexing==

There are a couple of posts asking about search engine indexing of this wiki: [[Consumer Rights Wiki talk:Moderators' noticeboard#Should CRW be indexed by search engines?]] and [[Talk:Main Page#Suggestion: Implementing a /robots.txt page]]. '''''[[User:JackFromWisconsin|📎 JackFromWisconsin]]''''' ([[User_talk:JackFromWisconsin|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/JackFromWisconsin|contribs]]) 02:20, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

:We are currently looking into this and I will update the thread as and when we have a solution or any further news. [[User:JakeL|JakeL]] ([[User talk:JakeL|talk]]) 00:38, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

==How do you edit beginning of an article with StubNotice?==

I was trying to edit the beginning of the article on [[Medical ventilator]] (to add a see also link to the medical equipment article).

The article has a StubNotice template at the beginning (on the same line as the beginning of the first paragraph).

When I try to save changes after making ANY change to the text on the same line as the stub notice template, it will not save (it gives me a message telling me about the procedure for requesting stubnotice removal). I am not trying to move or remove the stub notice, I didn't touch that. Even if all I try to do is put a newline or space after the template, or change words on the first line, it won't let me. This happens whether I use the visual editor or the source editor. I am using firefox running on linux.

I can save changes later on in that article, and I have edited other articles marked as stubs without issue.

The stubnotice documentation and talk page do not seem to document this behaviour, or tell me what to do. If this is desired behaviour, then the template should explain how to handle it.

Thank you. [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 21:31, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

:Not a mod, but I think I can respond to this. You can’t and this is pretty much desired behaviour. The [[Special:AbuseFilter|Abuse filter]] is the reason for it. It does attack more than just that area too as it thinks you’re changing the notice. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|<i><b>AnotherConsumerRightsPerson</b></i>]] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 07:40, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
::I don't understand why this behavior would be desired. To me it seems like a bug, where the abuse filter is protecting more than it should.
::Regardless, how can we improve the lead paragraph when we can not change it?
::*Are we supposed to duplicate the immutable first paragraph, putting any revisions/improvements in a secondary copy of the first paragraph? Is there a standard template or way to document what is going on so it doesn't confuse readers when they see two first paragraphs?
::*Do we need to propose edits to the first paragraph in some form on the talk page, then request an administrator to come and actually make the change? (If so, how/where do we make the request?)
::*Are we expected to just ignore problems in the first paragraph, and revise the rest of it until the stub can be removed?
::Thanks. [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 01:37, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
::I wonder if this edit, where an administrator used the visual editor to delete a deletion tag after the stubnotice might be part of the problem. Prior to that edit, the stubnotice was on its own line. After that edit, the stubnotice is on the same line as the first paragraph.
::https://consumerrights.wiki/index.php?title=Shortage_of_medical_ventilators_during_the_COVID_pandemic&diff=prev&oldid=25186
::If the abuse filter intentionally protects everything on the stubnotice line, then the problem may be in the visual editor, which should ensure that it preserves the newline at the end of a protected line. (At the very least, it should warn an administrator when they are suddenly protecting a bunch of text that wasn't protected before.) [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 02:06, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
:::I personally don’t like the current ‘stub notice can only be removed by mods’ anyway, and there are loads of article maintenance templates which '''don’t have this for some reason'''. Proposing edits in talk page is actually done on Wikipedia in the form of edit requests, where a mod will look at it there, but the thing is it won’t alert mods here to the request by just posting about it. The point about it protects the entire line seems valid to me and makes complete sense from my own experience, so I do think that is the most likely scenario. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|<i><b>AnotherConsumerRightsPerson</b></i>]] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 15:22, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
::::This is by design so that editors do not remove the notice until its been removed by staff for completeness. Once work on an article is completed you can post an appeal in the noticeboard or discord #appeals staff do actively check these so that peer edits can be approved and notices removed. This is both by policy and system design; it is not a bug. If you have thoughts on how we can improve this process feel free to bring it up in the dashboard - [[User:Atsumari|Atsumari]] ([[User talk:Atsumari|talk]]) 15:46, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::If this is desired behavior -- why? What purpose does it serve making it so the ''entire first paragraph'' of an article is ''immutable''?
:::::Note that the issue is the protection of the rest of the line, not the protection of the notice itself.
:::::@[[User:Atsumari|Atsumari]] Sorry, I don't know where/what the dashboard is, please give me a link. In the meantime, I will post suggestions for improvement here. Thank you.
:::::How to improve it:
:::::*Fix the code, so that only the stubnotice template is protected, not the rest of the line.
:::::*Fix the code when submitting a change so that it ''always'' adds a newline immediately after a stubnotice (or other protected template) if there isn't one there.
:::::*When a moderator submits a change with anything on the same line as a protected template, (either by adding to it, or by deleting the newline at the end of the line) the software should issue a warning, telling them what this will do to everybody else and asking them to confirm that they really want to do that. (Make the warning simple, clear, blatant, something you have to type a response to so people will read it and not autoclick.)
:::::Temporary workarounds:
:::::Add cautionary notices to the stubnotice template and its documentation.
:::::*The documentation should explain this behavior, tell moderators what the intended use of protecting the rest of the line is, and warn moderators about the problems it can cause.
:::::*If the visual editor is part of the problem (as I suspect it may be, given the edit which caused the problem in this article), then the documentation should warn moderators to be especially careful when using it around stubnotices.
:::::*The template text should explain what is going on, so an editor encountering the problem for the first time knows what is happening, and what to do about it. (How to get help to fix this case.) [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 19:46, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::Just found that the template:incomplete has same problem. [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 05:17, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::That part about the first paragraph being un-editable is not intended but the fact that users cannot edit the stub notice (or other notices) is created so someone cant just arbitrariliy edit their post removing the notices without staff review and formal appeal of the action by the user. As for where the dashboard is [[Consumer Rights Wiki talk:Moderators' noticeboard]] here is a link to it. As for the rest of your concerns I will flag down one of the tech folks or Keith for you to provide a more detailed explaination or look into exactly why everything in a first paragraph is being locked down as if someone adds a stub notices it should be at the top and above all text so there should be a seperation between the article text and the stub notice. This might also just be a policy thing we need to discuss as the stub notice is working as intended but the text after it being locked is not. - [[User:Atsumari|Atsumari]] ([[User talk:Atsumari|talk]]) 08:24, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

==Numeric usernames in cites produce warnings==
Usernames allow a wide range of characters. When <code>|author=</code> is used, the warning should not exist. The numberic warning should still exist on <code>|last=</code> and <code>|first=</code>.

==Main page header blues are low contrans, and don't meet WCAG AAA standards.==

<nowiki>#</nowiki>7FB6FF for links and #004080 for background are too close to each other. It is improvement over prevous conmination, but still not super accessible for color blind people. Blue and black themes are quite hard to make because both are dark colors. You can ping me here or in Discord if you want to discuss accessibility. [[User:Banana|Banana]] ([[User talk:Banana|talk]]) 22:40, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

==Header Icons in vector-header class header are changing to black in dark theme==

Icons like Alerts, Notices, Watchlist and Personal settings are switching to black when device is in dark theme. Tested in chrome and firefox, on Linux (ubuntu 24.04 LTS + KDE) and Mac. [[User:Banana|Banana]] ([[User talk:Banana|talk]]) 22:44, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

==Visited links on dark blue background doesnt meet WCAG accessibility standards==

<nowiki>#</nowiki>6a60b0 for link text on #1b223d has contrast of 2.91 which is way off for color blind people. [[User:Banana|Banana]] ([[User talk:Banana|talk]]) 22:50, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

==Class infobox blocks are shifting layout and moves parts of first entry in lists they are above==

Good example is Previous discussions block in this page. It has too low width or margins, so flex layout wraps first entry in list around it. [[User:Banana|Banana]] ([[User talk:Banana|talk]]) 22:53, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

==w/Special:Preferences header has no background==

w/Special:Preferences has same header functions as other pages header, but has other styling [[User:Banana|Banana]] ([[User talk:Banana|talk]]) 22:59, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

==Category:Wiki root subcategories with 1 article should be always in expanded state==

==New users have the editcontentmodel user right==

The editcontentmodel user right (see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:ChangeContentModel]) is currently bestowed (I believe mistakenly) to new users, which you can check via [[Special:ListGroupRights]]. This allows any logged-in user to change the content model of any page on the wiki between CSS, Javascript, JSON, plaintext, sanitized CSS, and wikitext, using [[Special:ChangeContentModel]]. On the English Wikipedia, this is a user right only granted to administrators and other such trusted user groups, I expect because it can massively reformat an entire page, and because I'm not sure if it checks for permission to edit the target page.

I'm not a security expert, but maybe there's a chance there's a security problem as well involving placing malicious code in any namespace? Though, I don't think there would be a way to run the code. I'm more worried about potential vandalism.

There's only been three uses of this tool (one use being a test by myself) on this wiki, so I'm sure you guys aren't going to be missing out on much by restricting usage of this tool to only trusted users. [[User:MEN KISSING|MEN KISSING]] ([[User talk:MEN KISSING|talk]]) 09:27, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

==Extension "Hide until new incidents" is not working properly==

Hello!

So i have consumer rights wiki installed in firefox, but there is a problem where when i click "Hide until new incidents" on ex. www.google.com, it still gets shown on other subdomains like mail.google.com and i need to click the button for every subdomain.

I think it would be great if there was an option to use whole domain blocking (whole example.com) and subdomain snoozing (only xyz.example.com) [[User:Kitki30|Kitki30]] ([[User talk:Kitki30|talk]]) 10:15, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

==How do you edit beginning of an article with StubNotice?==

I was trying to edit the beginning of the article on [[Medical ventilator]] (to add a see also link to the medical equipment article).

The article has a StubNotice template at the beginning (on the same line as the beginning of the first paragraph).

When I try to save changes after making ANY change to the text on the same line as the stub notice template, it will not save (it gives me a message telling me about the procedure for requesting stubnotice removal). I am not trying to move or remove the stub notice, I didn't touch that. Even if all I try to do is put a newline or space after the template, or change words on the first line, it won't let me. This happens whether I use the visual editor or the source editor. I am using firefox running on linux.

I can save changes later on in that article, and I have edited other articles marked as stubs without issue.

The stubnotice documentation and talk page do not seem to document this behaviour, or tell me what to do. If this is desired behaviour, then the template should explain how to handle it.

Thank you. [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 21:31, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

:Not a mod, but I think I can respond to this. You can’t and this is pretty much desired behaviour. The [[Special:AbuseFilter|Abuse filter]] is the reason for it. It does attack more than just that area too as it thinks you’re changing the notice. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|<i><b>AnotherConsumerRightsPerson</b></i>]] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 07:40, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
::I don't understand why this behavior would be desired. To me it seems like a bug, where the abuse filter is protecting more than it should.
::Regardless, how can we improve the lead paragraph when we can not change it?
::*Are we supposed to duplicate the immutable first paragraph, putting any revisions/improvements in a secondary copy of the first paragraph? Is there a standard template or way to document what is going on so it doesn't confuse readers when they see two first paragraphs?
::*Do we need to propose edits to the first paragraph in some form on the talk page, then request an administrator to come and actually make the change? (If so, how/where do we make the request?)
::*Are we expected to just ignore problems in the first paragraph, and revise the rest of it until the stub can be removed?
::Thanks. [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 01:37, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
::I wonder if this edit, where an administrator used the visual editor to delete a deletion tag after the stubnotice might be part of the problem. Prior to that edit, the stubnotice was on its own line. After that edit, the stubnotice is on the same line as the first paragraph.
::https://consumerrights.wiki/index.php?title=Shortage_of_medical_ventilators_during_the_COVID_pandemic&diff=prev&oldid=25186
::If the abuse filter intentionally protects everything on the stubnotice line, then the problem may be in the visual editor, which should ensure that it preserves the newline at the end of a protected line. (At the very least, it should warn an administrator when they are suddenly protecting a bunch of text that wasn't protected before.) [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 02:06, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
:::I personally don’t like the current ‘stub notice can only be removed by mods’ anyway, and there are loads of article maintenance templates which '''don’t have this for some reason'''. Proposing edits in talk page is actually done on Wikipedia in the form of edit requests, where a mod will look at it there, but the thing is it won’t alert mods here to the request by just posting about it. The point about it protects the entire line seems valid to me and makes complete sense from my own experience, so I do think that is the most likely scenario. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|<i><b>AnotherConsumerRightsPerson</b></i>]] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 15:22, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
::::This is by design so that editors do not remove the notice until its been removed by staff for completeness. Once work on an article is completed you can post an appeal in the noticeboard or discord #appeals staff do actively check these so that peer edits can be approved and notices removed. This is both by policy and system design; it is not a bug. If you have thoughts on how we can improve this process feel free to bring it up in the dashboard - [[User:Atsumari|Atsumari]] ([[User talk:Atsumari|talk]]) 15:46, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::If this is desired behavior -- why? What purpose does it serve making it so the ''entire first paragraph'' of an article is ''immutable''?
:::::Note that the issue is the protection of the rest of the line, not the protection of the notice itself.
:::::@[[User:Atsumari|Atsumari]] Sorry, I don't know where/what the dashboard is, please give me a link. In the meantime, I will post suggestions for improvement here. Thank you.
:::::How to improve it:
:::::*Fix the code, so that only the stubnotice template is protected, not the rest of the line.
:::::*Fix the code when submitting a change so that it ''always'' adds a newline immediately after a stubnotice (or other protected template) if there isn't one there.
:::::*When a moderator submits a change with anything on the same line as a protected template, (either by adding to it, or by deleting the newline at the end of the line) the software should issue a warning, telling them what this will do to everybody else and asking them to confirm that they really want to do that. (Make the warning simple, clear, blatant, something you have to type a response to so people will read it and not autoclick.)
:::::Temporary workarounds:
:::::Add cautionary notices to the stubnotice template and its documentation.
:::::*The documentation should explain this behavior, tell moderators what the intended use of protecting the rest of the line is, and warn moderators about the problems it can cause.
:::::*If the visual editor is part of the problem (as I suspect it may be, given the edit which caused the problem in this article), then the documentation should warn moderators to be especially careful when using it around stubnotices.
:::::*The template text should explain what is going on, so an editor encountering the problem for the first time knows what is happening, and what to do about it. (How to get help to fix this case.) [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 19:46, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::Just found that the template:incomplete has same problem. [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 05:17, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::That part about the first paragraph being un-editable is not intended but the fact that users cannot edit the stub notice (or other notices) is created so someone cant just arbitrariliy edit their post removing the notices without staff review and formal appeal of the action by the user. As for where the dashboard is [[Consumer Rights Wiki talk:Moderators' noticeboard]] here is a link to it. As for the rest of your concerns I will flag down one of the tech folks or Keith for you to provide a more detailed explaination or look into exactly why everything in a first paragraph is being locked down as if someone adds a stub notices it should be at the top and above all text so there should be a seperation between the article text and the stub notice. This might also just be a policy thing we need to discuss as the stub notice is working as intended but the text after it being locked is not. - [[User:Atsumari|Atsumari]] ([[User talk:Atsumari|talk]]) 08:24, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

==Extension "Hide until new incidents" is not working properly==

Hello!

So i have consumer rights wiki installed in firefox, but there is a problem where when i click "Hide until new incidents" on ex. www.google.com, it still gets shown on other subdomains like mail.google.com and i need to click the button for every subdomain.

I think it would be great if there was an option to use whole domain blocking (whole example.com) and subdomain snoozing (only xyz.example.com) [[User:Kitki30|Kitki30]] ([[User talk:Kitki30|talk]]) 10:15, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

:Thanks for your report. This was already fixed a couple of weeks ago to use root level blocking and will be available in the next release. [[User:JakeL|JakeL]] ([[User talk:JakeL|talk]]) 11:17, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
