Talk:Challenge checker

Does the challenge exceptions info really belong on this page? This page is about challenge checkers and not challenge caches and the info is already available at Challenge caches? --Pleu (4523550) (talk) 22:51, 28 December 2020 (CET)

I guess it's a bit of perspective of who you are, and from where you come from. The one who added the information makes challenge checkers, since it's very/too common for them to get their checkers disabled due to these issues I assume he found it relevant to checkers. My suggestion would be to merge the information and have it on the Challenge caches page, and leave a link in the Challenge checkers page. Regardless, better in two places than zero places. But one place is probably best, combined with links.

Also I am not 100% certain that everyone can view the exception list, but I can be wrong. I don't think everyone can add an exception at least, that should be the same code as voting.

Only voters can view the exceptions list as far as I know. Atleast I can only view it with the account that has voting access so unless there are added restrictions for not having paid membership I'd say it's voters only. A link to the info at challenge caches does make more sense to me.

Hi - I added this as I noted the article of exceptions was missing from the challenge checkers section - I added it to the 'checker' section as the 'Challenge exceptions' tab (used to be called 'moderators') is found when you click in the 'challenge checkers' tab under tools - so felt that was a logical place to put this article I have always been under the impression that anyone could see the exception list but only 'moderators' could vote - I can be corrected on that and will amend the article if that is the case. Also I hadn't spotted the duplicate article under challenges - I can delete my article if it is felt inappropriate Also you'll realise I haven't worked out how to contribute to this 'Talk' section properly ;-)
