I mean it doesn't reflect current reality though
Hi, the current editnotice is kinda outdated though. The purpose of the editnotice should be to act as a guide for users coming here to ask for help. I see quite a few of them here. The editnotice fails to effectively communicate the fact that this page is history and that they ain't getting any help here. &#8212;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • C • L) 19:17, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Please note that any feedback left at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback is not actively monitored by Wikimedia Foundation staff.

Change 1 rationale
Suggested edits should be uncontroversial to direct users towards appropriate locations for submitting feedback and bug reports, as specified by the WMF on other VisualEditor pages.

Change 2
Change Ways to get help text from:

This page is for feedback relating to VisualEditor. For general help with Wikipedia see Help:Contents and the Help desk. For feedback regarding a specific article, please use that article's talk page.

to:

The MediaWiki VisualEditor feedback page is for feedback relating to VisualEditor. For general help with Wikipedia see Help:Contents and the Help desk. For feedback regarding a specific article, please use that article's talk page.

Change 2 rationale

Thanks in advance. TROPtastic (talk) 22:12, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
