Help talk:System messages/whitelist

Should this need article protection?
As a high-risk subject, vandalism would be more damaging than in a normal case of any other help article - so I think this should be protected from anonymous edits. But I can see why it has been left unprotected as its got near-to-none attention from vandals.


 * We try and avoid protecting pages as much as possible, on the principle that the vast majority of editors want to help improve them. Even if this page were vandalised, the effect would likely only be confusing rather than dangerous. 10:19, January 4, 2016 (UTC)

This is just plain stupid
Come on, why can't we just freely edit all these system messages? If administrators on Wikipedia and ED can do so, why not us??? Stop limiting all useful administrator tools to yourself, FANDOM staff. Let us actually customize the wiki like a proper MediaWiki admin! 121.74.217.62 20:15, September 1, 2018 (UTC)
 * The system messages are whitelisted for security reasons. If you want to modify these messages, you can contact Staff with the content you want added and they should be able to add it for you. no replyz 01:51, September 2, 2018 (UTC)
