[edit]

Requesting the removal of the following paragraph:

You can continue to add images to articles as usual without the #WPWP tag. However, please note they will not be counted as contest entries.

Per meta:Talk:Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos_2024#Users_having_problems_adding_hashtags, an abusefilter whose purpose is to stop inexperienced competition entrants from adding images to large numbers of articles should not be suggesting that those users might like to continue doing so in a way that doesn't trip the filter.

Omitting the hashtag also means that other Wikipedia users won't know that these edits are being made at the instigation of a MetaWiki competition. Belbury (talk) 11:37, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just because someone on that project suggests that, doesn't mean it is what is best for our project. Ping to @Firefly: who added the message for any feedback. — xaosflux Talk 13:42, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, although it's my own suggestion as a Wikipedia editor who's been dealing with problems from this offsite project. I include the link above to show that the competition organisers do not object to it. Belbury (talk) 13:47, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
