I'd like to write up my ideas for things that could be considered for future legislation (as a matter of fact, I started: [[User:CorpoBlight/Product quality - and manufacturer incentives]]). But after I started, I began to wonder if it was in-scope for this wiki or not. If too far away from the preferred direction of this wiki, any suggestions for a different wiki where it would fit better? To be clear, I am ''not'' a lawyer.

:This would be outside of scope for the wiki as personal opinion write ups or personal interpritations of law aren't really within scope. Please let us know if you have any other questions about this. - [[User:Atsumari|Atsumari]] ([[User talk:Atsumari|talk]]) 07:52, 1 November 2025 (UTC) | |||

Although it has 'bot' flag, NewUserMessage still shows up in recent changes. I did a bit of digging and found out that all you need to fix it is a line in the localsettings.php file. Setting <code>$wgNewUserSuppressRC</code> to <code>true</code> should do the trick. | Although it has 'bot' flag, NewUserMessage still shows up in recent changes.

Also, just found before posting that to substitute the template (something I suggested earlier), putting any text in page <code>[[MediaWiki:Newusermessage-substitute]]</code> should do the trick (which will keep the message the same as when it was posted even when the template itself is updated, like doing it manually instead of via a template).

IPs have been shown for editing since the start of wikis, but it isn’t private for the IP users, and also Wikipedia is changing that now with temporary accounts. They will instead put it behind a random username, of sorts, that looks kinda like this: ~2025-8371-275. This is also viewable by the ‘temporary account IP viewer’ right or if users are CheckUsers (which I’m pretty sure isn't on the Wiki right now). This is also coming VERY soon, in 4 or so days on the English Wikipedia I think, so it can be implemented quickly.
