::::One major concern that I must agree with is the number of MediaWiki messages that aren't editable to local Administrators. Most sites including Miraheze allow local Administrators to edit all messages freely. I can understand that there are some MediaWiki messages on Fandom that should not be open for local Administrators to edit, such as the system messages that would affect areas of the wiki that would violate the customisation policy. But I feel that unless there's a very good reason that certain messages shouldn't be editable by Administrators, that general MediaWiki messages should be unlocked for editing.
::::The way I see it, the reason most system messages were locked from editing was because of a security attack that occurred in August 2015. But it's been ages since that time, and only a small amount of system messages are currently open to editing. The vast majority of system messages don't accept executable code, and are therefore unnecessary to be locked from editing. Personally I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the vast majority of system messages are open for Administrators to edit once we've upgraded to MediaWiki 1.33 and most - if not all - security problems from the current version of MediaWiki are resolved as a result of the upgrade.
::::It also strikes me how [[User:MarketingSimmer|MarketingSimmer]] has approached this forum in an authoritative tone, despite not being in a position to take action against the migration surrounding it ― <span style="font:bold 108% 'Constantia';">[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="#800000">C.Syde</font>]]</span> <span style="font: 108% 'Adobe Garamond Pro';">([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="#000000">talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="#000000">contribs</font>]])</span> 02:22, February 10, 2020 (UTC)
