message: Change the following

to
under the CC BY-SA 3.0 and the GFDL licenses.
Since both CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL are licensees, it seems highly questionable to only say "license" after the first and not the second license. Neither "CC BY-SA 3.0" nor " CC BY-SA 3.0 License" is the license full name, so it doesn't have any legal difference. (t) Josve05a (c) 21:58, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Also remove the unnecessary underscores in the wikilinks (_). (t) Josve05a (c) 22:02, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The underscores are not an issue, and might even be useful for some ancients browsers. — xaosflux Talk 22:45, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:   however feel free to follow up with WMF legal, this is the local copy of what is normally a global statement.  I suspect the term is like that because the L in the legacy GFDL already stands for license, while the normal abbreviation "CC BY-SA 3.0" would not be as obvious. — xaosflux Talk 11:11, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

to
By publishing changes, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contributions
(contribution -> contributions). This is so that the sentence structure maintains parallelism. While a single contribution can include multiple individual "changes", it is only 1 change to the page as a whole, so an alternative is to change "changes" to "a change". Either way, they should either be both singular or both plural. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 10:41, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: this is certainly a legalese question, but my reading is that this is related to the current edit, which may have one or more "changes" to the page contained in "this contribution" - and certainly that you are not agreeing to do things about past or future contributions. — xaosflux Talk 11:15, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I left a note at User talk:Mdennis (WMF), and it would also make sense to change it to "publishing your change" to mirror the current "your contribution" --DannyS712 (talk) 11:21, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think some of it arose from the labeling that WMF decided to use for the actual button ("Publish changes") that is clicked as well.  But this is really up to them and it likely will not be English Wikipedia specific. — xaosflux Talk 11:24, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Okay. Thanks anyway, --DannyS712 (talk) 11:25, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

message: Change wmf:Terms_of_Use to wmf:Temrs_of_Use/en, as the first terms of use without en prefix redirects to the latter page, so it would be better to have it redirect to the actual target page. 54nd60x (talk) 01:57, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: they have something wrong with their translatable page over there, but they should fix it over there so that this works regardless of the interface language selected by our readers. — xaosflux Talk 11:08, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

message: In 2012 the text "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." was removed as it was already included in the native heading for the 2010 Wikitext editor, per MediaWiki:Editpage-head-copy-warn.
With the growth in usage of the 2017 wikitext and visual editors there is now no reminder to not add content that constitutes copyright infringement. There is sufficient space and, in light of the huge amount of copyright violation reports, primarily caused by inexperienced new users, I propose the aforementioned line is added back to the end, providing a link to copyright advice and helping remind new users that content must be sutiable for inclusion.
* Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted.  – Isochrone (T) 17:53, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

message: Please replace this with  (the latter is a parser function that automatically internationalizes based on language) or delete this message since it is not used on Wikipedia, in a similar manner that MediaWiki:Wikimedia-globalblocking-ipblocked is used instead of MediaWiki:Globalblocking-ipblocked.

replies: text: MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning is already a transclusion of MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyrightwarning. I see no reason to do anything here. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:45, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @Pppery: I believe the idea of using '' instead of '' is to allow language translations to also work. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 13:38, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  Is this actually displayed anywhere, though? While I generally dislike the idea of supporting foreign user interface languages on enwiki I would be willing to implement this if someone could point to somewhere where it makes a difference. Otherwise it's just doubly trivial fiddling around. * Pppery * it has begun... 13:40, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  When you edit a Wikipedia page, you agree to license your contribution. The copyright warning appears directly above the 'publish changes' (MediaWiki:Publishchanges) button on the editing page. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:13, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyrightwarning is displayed there. My question is whether the content of the non-prefied MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning ever matters, or is this entire section a waste of time? * Pppery * it has begun... 20:28, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
