::::::That part about the first paragraph being un-editable is not intended but the fact that users cannot edit the stub notice (or other notices) is created so someone cant just arbitrariliy edit their post removing the notices without staff review and formal appeal of the action by the user.  As for where the dashboard is [[Consumer Rights Wiki talk:Moderators' noticeboard]] here is a link to it. As for the rest of  your concerns I will flag down one of the tech folks or Keith for you to provide a more detailed explaination or look into exactly why everything in a first paragraph is being locked down as if someone adds a stub notices it should be at the top and above all text so there should be a seperation between the article text and the stub notice. This might also just be a policy thing we need to discuss as the stub notice is working as intended but the text after it being locked is not. - [[User:Atsumari|Atsumari]] ([[User talk:Atsumari|talk]]) 08:24, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

==CAPTCHA appears only after pressing Add topic or any other similar main activity button clicked==
More of a suggestion, but it would be much better if CAPTCHA appeared if user made changes in all required fields/field. Less clicks to action - better UI, more engaged regular users. [[User:Banana|Banana]] ([[User talk:Banana|talk]]) 01:35, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

==Error when using " Random page " button==
 
I was just poking around at the website, until I've noticed a random page button, hit it once, worked fine, tried it another time and got this error : MediaWiki internal error.
 
Original exception: [b1219b51071b190a6bd156cf] 2026-01-22 08:02:21: Fatal exception of type "MediaWiki\Exception\MWUnknownContentModelException"
 
Exception caught inside exception handler.
 
Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information. , this is the url: [[Broken/NS112:Profile:Facetedsearch default profile]]

:Thanks for pointing this out! I'll pass it on to the technical guys. weird that it only failed the second time... [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 09:02, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
::T think the weird thing is you being sent to that page in the first place, rather than the fact that an error appeared when you were. i mashed ramdom page a few times and had no problem so i assume it's an issue with  the list of pages it's choosing from. [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 09:04, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
:::Ok, this is the same issue as 'Broken pages' above, and is being worked on. [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 12:50, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
 
==Consumerrights wiki not translatable via translate.google.com==
 
I wanted to share a page of this wiki with a Dutch-speal-king friend & Google Translate has this handy feature where you can drop a link, and it will generate a link with the webpage translated to your language of choice. Unfortunately, this feature doesn't seem to work for consumerrightswiki (returning a 403 Forbidden), limiting its reach to EN-only speakers. Is there any chance translate.google.com can be whitelisted?
 
This link is an example of translating the Microsoft_Windows page to Dutch: https://consumerrights-wiki.translate.goog/w/Microsoft_Windows?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true

::this website isnt indexed by search engines, thats probably why this happens [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|'''''AnotherConsumerRightsPerson''''']] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 17:58, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
:::@[[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|AnotherConsumerRightsPerson]] That is not the issue; it is indexed by search engines (at least the main page). This is a server configuration issue, perhaps to do with X-Frame-Options or other headers [[User:Webketje|Webketje]] ([[User talk:Webketje|talk]]) 11:16, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
 
==Main Page error (Different)==
 
After answering the [https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/m7l6L13thN198p-PfvXPVM9mFE+K5ucpzYsGiS4pN-M/ survey on CryptPad], you get prompted to visit the Main Page. The link however, leads to https://consumerrights.wiki/Main_page, whereas the actual Main Page is https://consumerrights.wiki/Main_Page with a capital P. Should be as simple as adding a redirect for all capitalisation variants of "Main Page", to avoid this issue ever again, since no article will (or should) ever use the name Main Page, anyway. [[User:Sebandar|Sebandar]] ([[User talk:Sebandar|talk]]) 19:49, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
 
:Created the redirect - thank you for bringing it up! (and sorry for the delayed response) [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 09:44, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
 
==Page tabs hidden==
 
Whatever the changes were has caused the first two tabs (article/project & talk) to now appear behind the site logo for CRW. — [[User:Sojourna|Sojourna]] ([[User talk:Sojourna|talk]]) 00:11, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
 
:Please force clear your browser cache. [[User:JakeL|JakeL]] ([[User talk:JakeL|talk]]) 00:30, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
::I have force cleared the browser cache for Firefox v147.0.2. I used the "purge cache" under the "More" tab, and force-refreshed the page - didn't work. I had to change the appearance setting from "Vector legacy (2010)" to a something else for the affected tabs to appear. — [[User:Sojourna|Sojourna]] ([[User talk:Sojourna|talk]]) 00:49, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
:::Thanks for letting me know. Could you please use our default skin (Vector 2022) for now until I get around to this? I haven’t done any work to optimise the legacy theme yet, as most people are using the default theme, thanks again for bringing this to my attention!

==Ability to edit Main Page.css and Main Page/Portals in Special:UncategorizedPages is bit of security issue==
I'd consider hiding that pages or adding permissions required to edit them, as both can be used for malicious actions. WIth css it will be just okay, let's make this look like circus or unusable, but with Portals you can embed external links directly in them.

==LibreWolf and Tor issue with new CRW extension==
 
Hello, LibreWolf and Tor both cannot use the new CRW extension as it needs "the new firefox". I clicked the download file option as well, but it doesn't work either for both. Might just be a Mozilla being almost as bad as Google sort of issue but this doesn't happen to any other extensions, so i doubt it. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|'''''AnotherConsumerRightsPerson''''']] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 17:41, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
 
:I'll pass this on, though to my knowledge there's no official support for either browser [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 17:44, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
::They're both Firefox-based, and even extensions specifically made for Firefox and only firefox work with firefox-based browsers. This one is a very unusual exception. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|'''''AnotherConsumerRightsPerson''''']] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 18:04, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Have had a chat with Jake, and seems it's (mostly) a config issue on our end, with the minimum Firefox version being specified somewhere or other. If you want to get to the extension straight away, you can get it directly from the extension github: https://github.com/FULU-Foundation/CRW-Extension
:::Otherwise, it's something we'll aim to resolve in the next release. [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 18:09, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
::::You can download the extension, edit the <code>strict_min_version</code> in <code>manifest/firefox.json</code> (line 51) https://github.com/FULU-Foundation/CRW-Extension/blob/main/manifest/firefox.json#L51 to a lower Firefox version, then build and install it locally https://github.com/FULU-Foundation/CRW-Extension?tab=readme-ov-file#clone-and-build-the-extension as a temporary workaround. We'll be lowering the minimum version requirement in a future release. [[User:JakeL|JakeL]] ([[User talk:JakeL|talk]]) 18:17, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::Thanks, will do that! [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|'''''AnotherConsumerRightsPerson''''']] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 18:19, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::WOW. I am in awe at how good the extension is now. This has completely changed since the previous version, I'm so glad I went into the effort of installing it. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|'''''AnotherConsumerRightsPerson''''']] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 18:48, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::::Thanks for the kind words, glad you're enjoying it! [[User:JakeL|JakeL]] ([[User talk:JakeL|talk]]) 18:50, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
 
==Edit title names==


Random page button occasionally sends you to broken pages like [[Broken/NS112:Group:Schema properties]] with no UI way to return back, only through browser buttons/instruments.  [[User:Banana|Banana]] ([[User talk:Banana|talk]]) 23:44, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
Multiple users have accidentally created pages with incorrect titles (e.g., including a year or typos).  Including myself,  please allow users to edit title names, because [Year] Doesn't always show up in the search and it's annoying that we cannot fix titles

::What you need to do is click on the 'Tools' button on the right above the article if you have it, and from there even if you don't have it on the right a 'move' button should appear.

Instead of linking here [[Consumer Rights Wiki:Wiki policy index]] has a link in the 'Special pages' section that incorrectly links to [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Bugs]]. [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Bugs]] showed up when I did a search for broken redirects. I tried to fix it, but I do not have the editing rights. I also tried to fix [[Consumer Rights Wiki:Wiki policy index]], but again I don't have the editing rights. (Both are protected pages. I'm not asking for access rights. I'm just asking for someone with access rights to fix this, so that people can find this page with a direct link to it.)
==New users have the editcontentmodel user right==


I can't work out why [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Bugs]] is showing up as a broken redirect, when the link after the redirect seems to point here OK, if I click on it manually. I could not do a test edit to see if I could clear the problem. But I think that the page does not need to exist.
The editcontentmodel user right (see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:ChangeContentModel]) is currently bestowed (I believe mistakenly) to new users, which you can check via [[Special:ListGroupRights]]. This allows any logged-in user to change the content model of any page on the wiki between CSS, Javascript, JSON, plaintext, sanitized CSS, and wikitext, using [[Special:ChangeContentModel]]. On the English Wikipedia, this is a user right only granted to administrators and other such trusted user groups, I expect because it can massively reformat an entire page, and because I'm not sure if it checks for permission to edit the target page.


I checked What Links Here on [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Bugs]] and there are only two pages that link to it. One is the page I just mentioned. The other is a user's talk page. So, if the 'Wiki policy index' page is fixed and the user's user page is fixed, the [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Bugs]] page can be deleted and navigation will be slightly easier for people trying to get to this page.
I'm not a security expert, but maybe there's a chance there's a security problem as well involving placing malicious code in any namespace? Though, I don't think there would be a way to run the code. I'm more worried about potential vandalism.


Thanks in advance to anyone with the correct access to fix this. [[User:Big Mac|Big Mac]] ([[User talk:Big Mac|talk]]) 03:42, 5 February 2026 (UTC)
There's only been three uses of this tool (one use being a test by myself) on this wiki, so I'm sure you guys aren't going to be missing out on much by restricting usage of this tool to only trusted users. [[User:MEN KISSING|MEN KISSING]] ([[User talk:MEN KISSING|talk]]) 09:27, 13 March 2026 (UTC)


:Fixed it on the policy index page! thank you very much for pointing that out [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 08:20, 5 February 2026 (UTC)
:This is enabled by default in MediaWiki, presumably because wikis are intended to be permissive and collaborative by nature. Thanks for noticing though! I will be pushing an update shortly to restrict it appropriately. [[User:JakeL|JakeL]] ([[User talk:JakeL|talk]]) 18:52, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
::I see the permission is now limited to admins and interface admins, good work!
::Can I request that [[User:MEN KISSING/Sandbox|my sandbox]], where I tested the ChangeContentModel tool, be changed from plaintext back to wikitext? I'm not able to do it myself anymore. [[User:MEN KISSING|MEN KISSING]] ([[User talk:MEN KISSING|talk]]) 19:46, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
