:::I've created a basic draft on [[User:Raster/Sandbox|my sandbox]] that staff could use to start with. It is not great, but I consider this to be an urgent matter that I wanted to bump this topic in some way. Thank you [[User:Raster|Raster]] ([[User talk:Raster|talk]]) 17:37, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

::::The layout of this reminds me of the abuse filter messages used, it has a very similar style. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|<i><b>AnotherConsumerRightsPerson</b></i>]] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 17:41, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

:While I do agree on this that it is gated behind discord, I do wanna make a request to the staff that we need a matrix or a SimpleX chat group chat for this one to exist (Yes, simpleX has a lot of room to spare for a lot of users). There is a reason why discord is made a software page here somewhere in this wiki. [[User:Jerry468|Jerry468]] ([[User talk:Jerry468|talk]]) 14:30, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

:::::(e.g., I couldn't find an article here about Google search. If not about navigating here, the front page may not be best place for it.)

:::::May want to refine/clarify the selection criteria for categories. (e.g., I think cellphones may be more popular than desktops in consumer space, so why a desktop OS? How is MacOS an alt. to Win 11 if it doesn't run on same hardware? I think MacOS had a bunch of consumer issues similar to Win 11, so not sure it clearly better.) Also there was some policy about mentioning alternative products someplace in [[Consumer Rights Wiki:Wiki policy index]].

:::::If I think of major consumer areas, I think: shelter, food, communications and utilities, transportation/automobiles, work, medicine/health, entertainment, financial.

:::::Could there maybe be another way to approach the same sort of beginner guidance you want? You might look at the list of article types and see if there is some place that it might fit.

:::::There is this guide, [[Customer Privacy Guide]] which somebody was working on. However I would check with the moderators before working on that, since it does not seem to fit the stated policy guidance on guides.
