non-notable topics. Administrators still have access to these pages, thus data is in WMF servers. Could you explain, if it is the case, why WMF does not want non-administrator users to have access to such deleted pages? <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/84.120.7.178" title="Special:Contributions/84.120.7.178">84.120.7.178</a> <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation/Legal#c-84.120.7.178-2020-08-07T01:25:00.000Z-Access_to_restricted_content_without_legal_issues" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:25, 7 August 2020 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-84.120.7.178-2020-08-07T01:25:00.000Z-Access_to_restricted_content_without_legal_issues"><span id="ooui-php-1" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui='{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}'><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-84.120.7.178-2020-08-07T01:25:00.000Z-Access_to_restricted_content_without_legal_issues"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="New_risks_due_to_the_development_of_a_local_law" data-mw-thread-id="h-New_risks_due_to_the_development_of_a_local_law-2021-11-25T04:17:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-New_risks_due_to_the_development_of_a_local_law-2021-11-25T04:17:00.000Z"></span>New risks due to the development of a local law<span data-mw-comment-end="h-New_risks_due_to_the_development_of_a_local_law-2021-11-25T04:17:00.000Z"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-timestampLabel'>Latest comment: <a href="#c-Sunpriat-2021-11-25T04:17:00.000Z-New_risks_due_to_the_development_of_a_local_law">3 years ago</a></span><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-commentCountLabel'>1 comment</span><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-authorCountLabel'>1 person in discussion</span></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Sunpriat-2021-11-25T04:17:00.000Z-New_risks_due_to_the_development_of_a_local_law"></span>As it is written in the <a href="/wiki/IP_Editing:_Privacy_Enhancement_and_Abuse_Mitigation#Overview" title="IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation">IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#Overview</a> "The Wikimedia Foundation’s legal and public policy teams are continually monitoring developments in various laws around the world". Can someone come to the forum <a class="external free" href="https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:Форум/Новости#Закон_о_«приземлении»_в_РФ">https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:Форум/Новости#Закон_о_«приземлении»_в_РФ</a> in ruwiki and comment on the situation around the new law? The new law has been developed in Russia (от 01.07.2021 № 236-ФЗ "О деятельности иностранных лиц в информационно-телекоммуникационной сети "Интернет" на территории Российской Федерации"). In May, the news reported that an invitation was sent to the official Wikipedia mail to discuss the application of the law. <a class="external autonumber" href="https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:Форум/Архив/Новости/2021/05#Официальное_представительство_Википедии_в_РФ">[1]</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://t.me/s/Hinshtein/667">[2]</a> - Were there any negotiations? Now the news says that Wikipedia will not yet be included in the list <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://236-fz.rkn.gov.ru/agents/list">[3]</a> of sites to which restrictions apply, but maybe in the future, and there are also questions about advertising (according to this law, sites are also included in the list when using advertising). Also, according to another local law (от 13 марта 2006 г. № 38-ФЗ "О рекламе"), any banner with a call for e.g. a contest/event can be considered an advertisement. (especially when the local chapter offers prizes for participation in the contest, or about fundraising) Is the Legal department monitoring the situation? Will there be advice from the department to reduce risks, e.g. should the IP of the Russian region be excluded when any banners are configured?
