See the sandbox diff for the changes that I request be made. It rewords the warning to be more clear and straightforward. waddie96 ★ (talk) 10:23, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Editor waddie96, it appears that keeping the "to avoid instruction creep" up front is more clear and grammatically correct. So sorry, but I have to oppose this change. See no use for the comma after the phrase, though. Maybe that's just me? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 16:35, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the proposed wording is good. I support this change. (Though nixing the comma in pages, to.) SWinxy (talk) 18:31, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that's agreeable, it was that comma that threw me, definitely should be no comma in pages, to. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 18:58, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Completed. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 18:30, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
