Why was the link to the Teahouse removed? The edit summary says they [IP editors] can't ask a question at this place anymore, but I couldn't find more info about that from a quick look at the Teahouse or its "About" page. (I Ctrl+F'd "anon", "ip" [whole word], and "register".)

BTW, that edit introduced a double newline that should be fixed. The HTML comment could be expanded; see what I mean in the sandbox. — W.andrea (talk) 13:05, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Moxy answered this implicitly below: The Teahouse is semi-protected, so anons can't use it. It's been protected most of the time since February and a good chunk of the time since September. — W.andrea (talk) 22:13, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See sandbox

• Re-add link to Teahouse but in a way that implies registration first
• Break first paragraph
• Clarify that it's your IP address
• +links:

 Half done I can do this but...Semi-protected pages cannot be edited by unregistered users (IP addresses), as well as accounts that are not confirmed or autoconfirmed.

Perhaps we should add "Just use this link to ask for help; a volunteer will visit you here shortly!" Moxy🍁 15:33, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ohhh, the Teahouse is semi-protected! That explains your previous edit :) In that case, "Just use this link" is perfect, thanks. — W.andrea (talk) 21:24, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wonder if I should turn this into a button like the rest of this is? Moxy🍁 22:59, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, yeah, since the Teahouse link was a button, that would be good for consistency. — W.andrea (talk) 23:08, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
