@54nd60x: IP's see the message if they try to edit a CSS subpage for their own IP address. Logging out and clicking Special:EditPage/Special:MyPage/common.css shows it. Is it shown in other places? MediaWiki:Customcssprotected and MediaWiki:Sitecssprotected are shown in other places. The suggestion does not seem well suited for the IP case. Do we ever create CSS pages for IP's? And CSS isn't really a script. Parameters are passed to MediaWiki messages as $1, $2, ... translatewiki:MediaWiki:Mycustomcssprotected/qqq says it only gets $1.

@PrimeHunter: Do you have any suggestions? 54nd60x (talk) 09:52, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@54nd60x: It depends whether it's shown in other cases. Do you know any? And have you ever heard of a CSS page for an IP? PrimeHunter (talk) 10:18, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PrimeHunter: No, I haven't heard of a CSS page for an IP. However, I still think the message should resemble that of MediaWiki:Customcssprotected. 54nd60x (talk) 10:55, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@54nd60x: A search for IPv4 CSS pages only found User:172.197.154.158/Monobook.css and User:69.115.251.52/monobook.css, created in 2004 and 2005 by the IP's when it was possible. I don't think an interface administrator would create a CSS page for an IP when other people may use the same IP, so it seems pointless to give them an edit request button. I think something like this would be better:

Unregistered users are not allowed to have CSS pages. You can make one if you log in to an existing account or create an account.

@PrimeHunter: Looks great. Additionally, Please copy this message to the messages that say you don’t have permission to create/edit js or json pages to non-logged in users, but replace “CSS” with “JavaScript” or “JSON”. Thanks. 54nd60x (talk) 12:58, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please delete MediaWiki:Nosuchactiontext, as the current message appears to be shorter and less explanatory than the default. 54nd60x (talk) 13:08, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@54nd60x: I have made {{Protected mycustom}} and used it in the three messages. I have deleted MediaWiki:Nosuchactiontext. PrimeHunter (talk) 14:33, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
