This page is only for discussions about the Wikipedia page Wikipedia:Legal disclaimer. To discuss an article, please use that article's talk page. To ask for help with using and editing Wikipedia, use our Teahouse. Alternatively, see our FAQ.

Wikipedia:Legal disclaimer is permanently protected from editing because it is a page that should not be edited significantly for legal or other reasons. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit protected}} to notify an administrator to make the requested edit.

Wikipedia:Legal disclaimer is a reader-facing page intended for viewing by non-editors. Please prioritize their needs when adjusting its design, and move editor-facing elements to other pages.

Since WP:NOLEGAL goes to this page, there should be a {{for}} notice at the top for WP:NLT Computer Fizz (talk) 10:00, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done, but with {{redirect}} which is the correct template for such cases. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:42, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: To make it more clear, instead of putting WP:NLT you should put Wikipedia:No legal threats. I just put WP:NLT cause it takes less time to type, i didn't mean that as the exact text. Computer Fizz (talk) 04:39, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:05, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please change "Nothing on Wikipedia.org or of any project of Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., should be construed as an attempt to offer or render a legal opinion or otherwise engage in the practice of law." to "Nothing on Wikipedia or any Wikimedia Foundation project should be construed as an attempt to offer or render a legal opinion or otherwise engage in the practice of law.".

Why? If you are going to advocate changing a page, you should provide a reason to justify it. Mr248 (talk) 03:14, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mr248, The phrase "or of any project of Wikimedia Foundation, Inc" is phrased awkwardly. JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 12:15, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. I don't feel comfortable making a content change like this to a page with legal considerations without a broader community discussion or review from the WMF. This wording has been in place since 2003. — The Earwig ^talk 20:01, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
