Remind users on the need to provide an Imprint when creating a new wikibase
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

While the more useful but also more involved ways of assisting users with creating Imprint pages on their wikibases are being defined (T310231), we still want to hint users that they are required to provide Imprint on their wikibases on wikibase.cloud

When creating a new wiki, there should be a note added above the "create wiki" button saying "Note that you are required to provide an Imprint statement on your wiki. See documentation on imprints (linking to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Wikibase.cloud/Imprints) for more details"

Event Timeline

I think that providing a note next to "create wiki" is not very helpful for users. They can't act on it there and just get the info to create something they probably never heard about. If we do this, it will also stick around and will lead to it "not being a serious problem" despite its sub-par usability.

I would prefer to point it out on Wiki directly AND/OR check if there is content on the wiki’s impressum page and directly point there from the admin UI.
