Editing Eurovision Wiki:Help desk (section)

== WP:ARBECR, temp accounts, and talk pages ==

Is it permissible for a temp editor to seek consensus for an edit or make an edit request on an article talk page where the article is subject to the [[WP:ARBECR|extended confirmed restriction]] but the talk page isn't? Is it permissible for a temp editor to discuss such a request with an experienced editor on the experienced editor's user talk page?

My understanding is that a temp editor is free to comment on both article and user talk pages regarding articles subject to ARBECR unless the talk page in question is itself protected. Please correct me if I'm wrong or if there is some nuance to this. [[User:Uhoj|Uhoj]] ([[User talk:Uhoj|talk]]) 22:57, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:That's generally true, unless the topic area is under restrictions, such as the Arab-Israeli conflict([[WP:PIA]]). Only extended confirmed accounts can edit any page or article on Wikipedia related to it(unless it is an edit request that does not require establishing a consensus).

::Thank you for your speedy and thorough reply [[User:331dot|331dot]]! I wasn't aware of the special rules around Arab-Israeli conflict. Thanks for clearing up my confusion! [[User:Uhoj|Uhoj]] ([[User talk:Uhoj|talk]]) 23:55, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
