Deletion appeal "Presonus removes VSL...."
Hello, I created a few days ago a page about Presonus deleting a software that was marketed with audio interfaces. I tried making changes on the page but the captcha just wouldn't trust that I was human and wouldn't let me add content to the article that's why it was empty.
It should now have some context and references, sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards Leonneon (talk) 21:09, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
- I take it you're talking about this article Presonus removes VSL mixing app from VSL audio interfaces products line @Leonneon? I have removed the deletion notice. Thanks for making the article. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 23:15, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
- Yes it's the one, thank you have a great day Leonneon (talk) 16:31, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
Should CRW be indexed by search engines?
Hello, I am writing here as I found a setting in the visual editor if you click those three lines and then ‘advanced settings’, which asks if you want a page to be indexed by search engines. I am sure that this setting is set to default, which means no on all articles (unless this was covered before and i do not know about it). I think this setting could be useful sometimes, but not always, to make the wiki easier to find and not just “I watch Louis Rossman so I know about the CRW!” and also make others learn about this in general. You can probably make a discussion about this if this wasn’t talked about before. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 19:27, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
- @AnotherConsumerRightsPerson, I did a search (on Google) for "Microsoft consumer rights wiki" and this wiki did come up in the 3rd-4th result. So I am pretty sure this wiki is indexed by search engines. I'll forward this to developers just in case. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 02:17, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- @JackFromWisconsin I searched this on Ecosia and I got the same thing too. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 05:52, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- It appears that only our former wiki's domain, wiki.Rossmanngroup.com, is what is currently indexed on search engines. Tested this on DuckDuckGo. Query: "Nintendo Consumer Rights Wiki" JamesTDG (talk) 12:55, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- @JamesTDG good point. I originally thought it wasn’t indexed because when i went to a newer incident article and tried searching it up, I couldn’t see it come up. I thought the default setting defaulted incident articles to not indexed after i realised other articles were indexed. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 13:06, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Article status appeal: "The Italian digital identity wallet only supports Google-certified Android devices"
Hello,
I've created the article The Italian digital identity wallet only supports Google-certified Android devices today in a work-in-progress state and it was flagged as a stub. I think it's ready to lose the stub status now as I've published the final draft. Could you please check? Thanks Rampant-quack-painting (talk) 21:40, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Rampant-quack-painting Thank you for creating that article. I have removed the stub notice. If you want, the citations could use some work to complete them, but that's the only big thing I'm seeing wrong right now. Just adding in the author, website name, and date would go a long way in the citations. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 13:17, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Jack, I've enriched all the citations and archived them on the Wayback Machine. Thanks Rampant-quack-painting (talk) 21:28, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Awesome work, thanks. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 22:52, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

Remove eff digital fingerprint tool from consumer privacy tools.
These tools that supposedly tell you your fingerprint are unreliable and are reccomended against in the privacyguides.org forum. They are also not listed on privacyguides.org for this and many other reasons. I think we should try not to clutter the tools section and rely on strong resources like privacyguides.org for their suggestions. Dentist5735 (talk) 00:04, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Also a link to the BBB? Seriously? https://money.cnn.com/2015/09/30/news/better-business-bureau/index.html Dentist5735 (talk) 00:12, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Dentist5735 I agree with this -- less clutter is best. I'll wait for others to chime in before making a change however. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 14:54, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Happy to remove the link to the digital fingerprinting tool as I'd tend to agree that it's handled better elsewhere. I think BBB is still probably worth linking because, while a bit crap at times, it's still a major avenue for reporting consumer issues. Keith (talk) 12:34, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
Make CRW: Redirects for pages starting with Consumer Rights Wiki:
Hello. This time I am here as I hate having to write Consumer Rights Wiki: every time I need a page in that section of the wiki. Can we please have redirects to these pages where instead of Consumer Rights Wiki: we can type CRW: sort of like how Wikipedia pages have Wikipedia: and WP: for redirects? Thanks. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 11:26, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- I can forward that to the developers. Also, you can do Project: as kind of a shortcut already. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 13:19, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- From what I can tell, it's something that needs to be done on the bakend, so have passed it onto the backend folks. thanks! Keith (talk) 13:20, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
Deletion request eRUC NZ 24/7 GPS car surveillance
Hey guys, this is a serious issue. If the format or section is wrong I'm open to input on what to change or where to repost. Please don't just tear it down and bury this. It's a big deal much worse than most consumer issues.
https://consumerrights.wiki/NZ_eRUC_all-cars_24/7_GPS_Surveillance_proposal FredNZ (talk) 09:13, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @FredNZ, read through the style guide and the guide on incident pages. If you have any more questions that those pages don't answer, please ask. Thanks for making this article and helping to improve it. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 13:53, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
DCS is an unnecessary disambiguation page
At DCS (disambiguation) there is a link to dCS audio ,which doesn’t have an article about it, and Deep Cycle Systems. This means it is useless and isn’t needed. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 07:02, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Inclusion guidelines
It appears the Inclusion Guidelines article hasn't been updated since May. Since this is a major FAQ for a lot of contributors, as well as important guidelines for what this wiki does (and doesn't) cover, it seems pretty crucial to update this article. It would also help greatly to add it to the Create a Page, How To Help, and other contributor articles. Beanie Bo (talk) 12:50, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- I will certainly make sure to get the other stuff members in on this, It is rather concerning that we haven't updated it for hot minute... JamesTDG (talk) 12:52, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Protect Template:Main Page/Featured
Template:Main Page/Featured should be protected to allow only administrators. Autoconfirmed/confirmed users being able to edit this seems like a recipe for disaster, especially as only admins need to edit it. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 14:17, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting us know. Should now be fixed. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 14:20, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Appeal to Piefed Page Deletion
Someone has marked the Piefed Page for deletion. What are some improvements that could be made to the article to potentially prevent this outcome?
Piefed Fierce (talk) 05:19, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- The easier to deal with issue mentioned in the deletion notice surrounds the fact that the article is quite short, and is not in a standard format for a product article. This is fairly manageable, as it just needs to be reformatted into something more similar to other product articles on the wiki.
- The second issue is trickier: piefed's relevance to consumer protection, and general notability, needs to be justified. This is, I suspect, the main reason why it's being considered for deletion, as the other issue would only really justify a stub notice. We do not intend to have a page for every open source solution out there, and generally the only ones which have a page are very large and relevant ones like GrapheneOS (and even then there's some debate as to whether they fit on the Wiki). I'm not sure that Piefed has really has any notable consumer-related incidents to speak of, and for the page to stay I think you'd need to clearly lay out a case (ideally on its talk page, feel free to reply here or ping me if you do this) for the page's notability.
