Not a dev myself, but a friend of one. It took me a lot of hounding on my friend's behalf to get a direct response from leafo, who provided a rationale based on the "intent" of the page. I wouldn't be surprised if this is legal safeguarding like others have proposed, but either way you have to be really persistent to get any kind of response, and it doesn't make things any less frustrating in the meantime.

Thank you for telling me this! It really confuses me still because 'intent' of pages isn't outlined in any of the rules. I've also been unsure of the best way to even try to contact staff since I'm not sure they are even reading tickets. While I know No Time to Play has reached out to Leafos directly before, I am unsure of the best way to do that myself also haha since he seems to respond to things based on whether or not he has an easy to understand answer.
