Ia there any consensus/policy/guideline for this view? I wanted to add
it back as I have used such comments before but didn't feel like
getting into an edit war over invisible wikitext on an article I don't
regularly edit.
Where on earth do people get these ideas? It's certainly appropriate to use
hidden messages to dissuade editors from making a common error, or from
vandalising.
