Hello all. Should {{tl|edit protected}} be merged into {{tl|edit request}}?

Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis.
- Before posting to this page, make sure your comment doesn't belong at one of these specific request pages:
- Requests for (translation/central notice/interface) adminship on this Meta-Wiki
- Requests for CheckUser information on this Meta-Wiki
- Requests for oversight of edits on this Meta-Wiki
- General requests for permissions on other wikis
- Requests for CentralNotice banners and campaigns
- Import is currently enabled in this wiki from some projects. From other wikis, you will need to copy and paste your materials by hand but please remember to add a link, as a permanent link, and the history of the page being imported in the edit summary to avoid copyright violations.
- To report vandalism on Meta: please click here. For immediate assistance, join #wikimedia-metaconnect and use !admin@meta to notify administrators.
- To report cross-wiki vandalism see Steward requests/Miscellaneous.

Regarding global filter 241[edit]
This filter currently catches additions containing file://, often people trying to link a file from their computer in a page, like for example here. I was thinking that instead of merely logging it, it would be more helpful both for the projects and the people trying to add files this way, to trigger a warning explaining them what they're trying to do is not possible (and how to properly upload files). --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 13:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- @KonstantinaG07 we could set it to warn, however a custom warning won't work well because it wouldn't be translated to the hundreds of languages - meaning the contributor would get MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning. Would that be better or worse? — xaosflux Talk 14:10, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, right, I had a custom one in mind but forgot translations are an issue here. I am now also not sure if it would be better or not. The ideal would be if these custom warnings were translatable of course. KonstantinaG07 (talk) 14:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Also noting that global filters do not support custom messages. If you try to save changes to a global filter with a custom message, you will receive an error. So unfortunately, we are stuck with the default MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning & MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 14:45, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Right, that could be an issue. I am also debating with myself if any of these two actions would cause more good or harm, with the standard, not so helpful, message. --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 13:27, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
