Change to "This page is not a forum. Click here for more information", per WP:VPT#Nonsense from mobile editors. (ping: Suffusion of Yellow) * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:53, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On hold Pppery will want to mock this up on testwiki first and ensure it doesn't cause some odd issues with wider text there - also do you happen to know if the mobile-app makes use of this message? — xaosflux ^Talk 14:33, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have admin access on Testwiki, so can't perform any such testing. As for the apps, none of them appear support talk pages at all, and the troublesome edits to Talk:Main Page are all tagged "Mobile web edit". * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:26, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: I'll probably do it on testwiki unless someone else gets to it first should be in the next couple of days, leaving this open to remind me. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:18, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery and Xaosflux: I have added image for that. Here's another for Talk:Donald Trump. – Ammarpad (talk) 06:25, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ammarpad: thank you for the mock ups. @Pppery: that phasing doesn't seem great to me for something for all readers, perhaps some more tweaking? This page is not a forum. Click here for more information makes me think that clicking that link is only something that I would do if I wanted to know more about why it isn't a forum - not the primary purpose of that link. Also, the talk page is sort of a forum - a forum for discussing changes to the page. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:22, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not done with edit requests, the request itself is the "B" of WP:BRD, in this case there is a decline (the "R") so this needs further discussion. If the discussion concludes a change should be made, please link to it (if held elsewhere) then reactivate the edit request at that time. — xaosflux ^Talk 17:46, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
