Template talk:Colocationwebhost-soft

"By unregistered users"

@Primefac: Not that it really matters (especially considering that this template is only used twice since I seem to be the only one using it), but just to provide some context for the edit you reverted: I removed the sentence because the template already explains that logging in will resolve the issue – and as a general statement, Editing by unregistered users from web hosts and colocation providers may be temporarily disabled due to abuse strikes me as overly broad since in practice, we place preventative hard-blocks on most webhosts and colos we can find (abused or not), and the current wording somewhat misrepresents that. The most likely use case for this template (or at least the scenario that led to me placing the two blocks it's currently used for) is arguably for datacentre gateways that are used by institutions for security purposes, plus for blocks on colocation-only providers, so the template could probably use a rewrite for more precise wording anyway; most users of services like that probably don't even know that they are on a datacentre IP. --Blablubbs (talk) 12:00, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Fair enough. The way I read it, the general structure is "unregistered users editing while logged out is blocked, however you can log in to edit"; removing the first part makes the overall phrase problematic. Primefac (talk) 12:06, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
