MediaWiki talk:Anonpreviewwarning

MediaWiki:Anonpreviewwarning is the editnotice shown when a user who is not logged in previews an article edit. MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning does the same for edit mode.
This interface message or skin may also be documented on MediaWiki.org or translatewiki.net.
The page forms part of the MediaWiki interface, and can only be edited by administrators and interface editors.
To request a change to the page, add {{edit fully-protected}} to this page, followed by a description of your request. Consider announcing discussions you add here at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) to bring more people to the discussion.

Rezonansowy; this cannot be switched until the file is either uploaded locally and protected or protected on Wikimedia Commons (as the currently-used file is). We should not use an unprotected file in interface messages. Once that is done, we can make this switch with no issue. Rjd0060 (talk) 23:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Rjd0060: This change has been already done here. Could you notify some admin from Commons to prtocet this file? And maybe tidyup its upload history... --Rezonansowy (talk | contribs) 07:17, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, file is now protected, we can do the change. --Rezonansowy (talk | contribs) 11:08, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Jdforrester: Could you make a change here as well, thank you in advance! --Rezonansowy (talk | contribs) 19:55, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done I've uploaded the image locally, upload-protected and move-protected it, and made the switch in the message. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 14:27, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

propose "sign up" to "create an account"[edit]

I propose to change "sign up" to "create an account". This would match the wording at MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning as well as better matching the "Create Account" heading at the account creation page. Jason Quinn (talk) 09:23, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Protected edit request on 27 May 2016[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

As is the case for Anoneditwarning, the MediaWiki software is automatically adding a yellow box around this warning; the {{fmbox}} adds an awkward, additional box. This can be fixed by eliminating the background color. Thus, please replace the template code with the following:

{{fmbox
| type      = editnotice
| image     = [[File:AnonEditWarning.svg|10x20px]]
| id        = anoneditwarningtest
| style     = font-family:Arial; border:none; height:38px;
| textstyle = 
| text      = '''You are not logged in'''. Saving the change you are previewing will record your [[IP address]] in this page's public edit history. Please [{{fullurl:Special:UserLogin|returnto={{FULLPAGENAMEE}}&returntoquery=action%3Dedit}} log in] or [{{fullurl:Special:CreateAccount|returnto={{FULLPAGENAMEE}}&returntoquery=action%3Dedit}} sign up] to have your edit associated with a user name, among [[Wikipedia:Why create an account%3F#Summary of benefits|other benefits]]. 
}}

Which should appear as follows:

You are not logged in. Saving the change you are previewing will record your IP address in this page's public edit history. Please log in or sign up to have your edit associated with a user name, among other benefits.

(It is worth noting that this solution might be better than the current code for MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning, which leaves the text vertically off-center in its box.) 130.216.208.173 (talk) 06:48, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It’s more common nowadays to write the noun username as one word. EthanGaming7640 (talk) 21:30, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
