Nofollow

{{editprotected}} This message might be a good place to make would-be spammers aware of the nofollow applied to external links. I can't think of a good wording straight off, though, so would appreciate input on that, and also on whether mentioning nofollow here is a good idea in the first place. --ais523 17:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree - how about "The nofollow attribute is applied to external links in Wikipedia. Adding links will not increase your page rank on search engines."? ck lostsword•T•C 20:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I rephrased that a little, linked it, and added it. — Carl (CBM · talk) 00:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

id attribute

{{sudo}}

Enclose this message in a <div> with an id attribute, so that it can be customized using CSS. Thanks 86.141.150.201 19:19, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Done. Output looks good after testing. --- RockMFR 01:02, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

"Your edit includes new external links"

This is probably the wrong place to report this, but I don't know where else. I've gotten this message when trying to submit edits that do not include new external links, in fact even on pages that have no external links at all. Clearly that's not correct... --98.64.127.242 (talk) 03:47, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

CAPTCHA whitelist

Can we add a link to the whitelist talk page, so that page can be populated with domains that will never be used by spam bots, something like:

If the link is unlikely ever to be used by bots, and is frequently used in references and templates (e.g. jstor.org), you can request that it be added to the CAPTCHA whitelist by posting on the talk page.

Otherwise, no one who is affected by CAPTCHAs will know that the whitelist exists. 109.76.199.245 (talk) 08:37, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
