			== Help, it won't let me edit an article with a stubnotice. ==

			If you are not a moderator, the software will reject ALL changes to the line that contains the stubnotice template. So if there are templates or text on the same line as the stubnotice, only a moderator can change them.

			Evidently the software doesn't warn moderators about this behavior, so they may put the first paragraph of the article on the same line, and nobody can edit it, and the error message you get when you try is totally unhelpful, and the moderator doesn't even realize what they did.

			I posted a bug report on this
			[[Consumer Rights Wiki talk:Bugs]] under the title ''How do you edit beginning of an article with StubNotice?''
			I haven't gotten a response on preferred workaround.
			* You could try looking in the article history, see if you can figure out which admin made the first paragraph uneditable, and ask them to put in a newline.
			* You could ask at the administrators notice board for somebody to add the newline.
			* As a temporary measure, you could make a second copy of the lead paragraph, make your edits on that, and add a comment explaining why two lead paragraphs.
			* Please consider posting a brief message on the bug report or here if this was helpful (or if have other suggestions).
			* If you find other templates with the same behavior, please add a similar explanation to them.
			Hope this helps. [[User:Drakeula\|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula\|talk]]) 20:03, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
