Unlikely scenario named first?

Compared to the second part of the message, I believe it to be very unlikely that this filter is triggered by the addition/removal of the "unlocked userpage" template. I think that the message should mention the likeliest scenario first, and then secondly mention a possible other reason. Especially to new editors, the beginning of this warning message probably seems to be completely missing the point. They might even stop reading there because they consider it to be irrelevant to them. Exactly these editors, however, are the main target of this message. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:06, 6 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

“Experienced” should be changed to “autoconfirmed”. Not all autoconfirmed users are experienced, and not all experienced users are autoconfirmed. (see mw:Sites using MediaWiki) EthanGaming7640 (talk) 17:50, 23 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: I don't see the issue with the message, and "experienced" is clearer everyday English than "confirmed" in this context. The sentence "Please note that unregistered and newly registered editors cannot modify other editors' user pages. " provides sufficient clarity I think. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:51, 24 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
