 | This is the talk page of the page notice for Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Template:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback can only be edited by administrators, page movers, and template editors. All editnotices (except those in userspace) are protected via MediaWiki:Titleblacklist, so the "protection" status as set by the protection tab is mostly irrelevant. |

I mean it doesn't reflect current reality though
[edit]@Praxidicae: Hi, the current editnotice is kinda outdated though.
- "You might consider clicking here instead to fill out the simple form created by Template:VE Bug2"
- "This page is for feedback relating to VisualEditor."
The purpose of the editnotice should be to act as a guide for users coming here to ask for help. I see quite a few of them here. The editnotice fails to effectively communicate the fact that this page is history and that they ain't getting any help here. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • C • L) 19:17, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
