I hope you don't want me to make a list, but those pages 1) are not comparable to such a specific thing as a username policy or captcha help page, 2) are mostly not even shown as red links, 3) are not in the way like these red links on an important page like UserLogin. The only exception is edithelppage, which you removed on en.wiki. > > These message URLs solve issues with the login and create account forms that > some non-WMF wikis have as well.

In particular, createacct-captcha-help-url linking to a nonexisting page really means laughing at people. In general, links are where you expect links to be (sidebar, footer) and it's always "apparent" how to add more elsewhere: it's what we have MediaWiki pages for, you just find a message where you want the link and edit it. The current new interface actually makes it harder, because it adds a separate system message, instead of letting you edit the message next to which you want to add your link as normally done in MediaWiki. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
