Shortcut for CTOP appeals?

I find myself fairly regularly navigating to {{slink|Wikipedia:Contentious_topics#Appeals_and_amendments}}, either to double-check a rule or to link a user to it in the course of sanctioning them. Would it be possible to add a shortcut to that section, maybe WP:CTOPAPPEALS? (I could create the shortcut myself, but there's not much point if there isn't a {{tl|shortcut}} box at the target.) -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|šŸ¤·) 18:54, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

:I'll note that non-arbs/clerks have made those kinds of changes in the past to the page without consultation. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 20:50, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

::Even more so at WP:AC/P with adding shortcuts. I haven't thought of anything better than WP:CTOPAPPEALS, though I also like using anchors like WP:CTOP#Appeals. JensonSL (SilverLocust) 07:58, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Contentious topic talk page

Am I allowed to add a potentially relavent source to a talk page for a contentious topic? AFanOfTheWanderingInnNumber25 (talk) 16:49, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

:@AFanOfTheWanderingInnNumber25 speaking for myself here: in general, you can edit about contentious topics. For the Arabā€“Israeli conflict, you can make edit requests but may not otherwise participate in talkpage discussions. If you're referring to this edit, that is indeed not allowed under the restriction. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:56, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
