HP: Systemic DRM and Firmware Lockouts

I’m still working on this, so is there a way to publish a page as a draft before fully publishing or saving something I’m not too familiar with MediaWiki. I’ve made some more tweaks and I’m still writing a bit more, so it’s not AI. It’s just a collection of different URLs and things I saw around HP mostly because I used to have an HP printer… but there’s a systemic issue outside of Brothers, which I think Brothers have changed from some things I’ve researched. They’ve all started doing ridiculous things like DRM lockouts or subscription services for a stupid printer. Hirov.xyz (talk) 13:57, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

I appreciate you reaching out to me regarding your article! I apologize for falsely flagging your article as AI. If you need more time to get a future article up to wiki standards, you can move the page to your sandbox ( just be sure to select the "User" option from the drop-down bar; and type "Hirov.xyz/sandbox" in the box to the right of it).

What I would recommend are two things:

• Use the Cite web template for your references
  • You would insert the <ref>{{Cite web|}}</ref> in source editor after a sentence or word that relates to the contents of the reference
• Follow the Incident article format
  • Use this form page to create the Cargo template

I have put an "under development" template on the article for now, so you do not need to move it to your sandbox. In the meantime, I would suggest focusing on formatting the article and references with the resources I linked above. If you need more resources on wiki editing, this index is a good start!

Awesome thanks for replying back here. I just jumped right into it. I’ll read through all those articles and ping you to see once I feel like this is in good shape. Based on all the information you gave me have a good Labor Day Weekend. Hirov.xyz (talk) 01:31, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, you as well! Mr Pollo (talk) 15:38, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

As I read further, I came across “HP, Inc.” It reminded me of some thoughts I already have that I can expand upon. Instead of creating a separate page, I thought it might be better to add these ideas to the existing page. I noticed that the page mentions printers but doesn’t have a link to the tag for printers. Maybe that’s why I missed it. I’ll probably review more of the wiki and look for other similar topics. I think this might help me organize the information better than just adding more pages. Some things might already exist and just need to be expanded upon. Hirov.xyz (talk) 02:44, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
