:Regarding edit access to the consumer tools page or any template used on the front page, additional inclusions like consumer tools are generally confirmed by staff to prevent the potential for promoting a service or product that doesn’t align with our goals. | ::At the moment it's limited to Superconfirmed and above. Given the quality of @[[User:Tracerneo|Tracerneo]]'s contributions, I'd be happy to give them Superconfirmed. [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 20:40, 17 May 2026 (UTC) | ||

:Also while we have you here, creating country articles like [[Poland]] isn’t within our scope, as a country category can contain the necessary information such as their incidents and laws while linking back to the country's Wikipedia page. For that, having categories such as [[:Category:Canadian incidents]] and [[:Category:Canadian legislation]] in the Canada category would be best practice. Let me know if you have any questions!

::There are countries that have many consumer rights organizations and governmental bodies, or complicated laws, that do not warrant one article or do not make sense individually. Without such pages there is no discoverability for these convoluted topics. | |||
::Consider a Polish developer making changes to open source software, to make it interoperable with device that recently got locked down. The device manufacturer subsequently threatens them with legal action, citing [[DMCA]]. How can you find out, that DMCA does not apply outside of the US, the international treaty that DMCA implements is implemented with exceptions in his jurisdiction that make the reverse engineering for interoperability permissible, and that recently [[SLAPP suits and legal intimidation]] has been [https://commission.europa.eu/news-and-media/news/new-eu-rules-protect-against-strategic-lawsuits-against-public-participation-enter-force-2024-05-03_en largely outlawed]?

:::Also there's [[:Category:Organizations]], [[:Category:Regulatory agencies and public support bodies]], and [[Template:CompanyCargo]] has a suggested "Government" value in the Type field. Countries/jurisdictions fall under the Themes scope in my opinion. | |||
:::Categories (and non-Main namespaces) lack discoverability (they are not searched by default). [[User:Tracerneo|Tracerneo]] ([[User talk:Tracerneo|talk]]) 21:06, 17 May 2026 (UTC) | |||
::::Tend to agree. I do wonder though whether the page titles should be just the name of the of the country or be something like 'Government of x', or 'Consumer protection in x', but that's a minor issue, and ultimately the content of the pages is good. I've created [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki_talk:RfC:_Page_protection]] for people to discuss the situation on the wiki regarding permission levels.
