How to add hidden editor notes in an article

Have you ever needed to post an important message to all editors about an article, on the article itself, but thought it would stick out like a sore thumb and ruin the article if you did? Are you reverting many edits on an article because editors just aren't seeing the important message or special instructions on the talk page?

The solution is that you can insert hidden text in the article! That way, only the people editing the page will see your message! Here is how to insert a hidden comment:

  1. First, begin the comment by typing <!--
  2. Once you have done that, type what you need the editors to read
  3. Then, end the comment by typing -->

Once you have completed those 3 easy steps, you won't be reverting as many mistakes!

For example, the following hidden comment has been used in the Meaning of life article, in the Popular views section:

<!--Please do not add 42 in this section. It is covered under the section titled "Popular culture treatments". Thank you.-->

Some more examples of pages that have hidden messages include:

A tag has been placed on Finkenberg's Sons Furniture Inc., requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

December 2019[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to A. Finkenberg's Sons Furniture Inc., without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Hugsyrup 08:13, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wisegrandaugher: I see you've been blocked, or I would be urging you to post at the AfD, but may I ask you to explain what you were trying to achive with teh article on Finkenberg's? I see that you started it as a copy of a pre-existing Wikipedia article titled Finkenberg's Sons Inc., which you appear to have moved to A. Finkenberg's Sons Inc. and then to Deleted Article before tagging it for speedy deletion at author's request. Kusma then deleted it and all the redirects created by the moves. Why didn't you simply move it to the present title, and why did you later blank the present version and then move it to titles requesting deletion?? I'd like to know before joining the effort to improve it and get it kept at the deletion discussion. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:25, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
