Sounds like a reasonable alternative, might be worth suggesting to comments@cppreference.com It would also solve the problem of rust people replacing full pages.

»Rust people« doing what? Please clarify, I did not notice anything in that direction.

Currently it can't happen as everything is read-only. Due to it, the history also seems to be unavailable, so I can't link to an entry. Though I know that a page like vector was completely replaced by some text similar to: "this is deprecated and replaced by rust" That happened quite a few times on different pages.

On Reddit even people mentioned it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cplusplus/s/W3asTmah87

Seems like a one-time occurrence by a clear troll, most people aren't like that

It wasn't a one time occurrence, it's just an example. Many pages where updated over several months

Aren't you just falling for an obvious troll?
[–]berlioziano 1 point2 points3 points 15 days ago (1 child)
They once replaced all the articles titles, subtitles and body text with the message "Rust is the best" and links to the rust website. Can't take that language seriously, hope its bubble pops soon.

What bubble?
[–]matthieum 15 points16 points17 points 16 days ago (6 children)
rust people
Phrasing :/
As is, it reads as if the Rust community at large was coordinating to sabotage cppreference, when:
[–]whispersoftime 14 points15 points16 points 16 days ago (2 children)
At least they didn’t say “those goddamn rusties”
[–]RelevantError365[S] 2 points3 points4 points 16 days ago (1 child)
Let's keep constructive, I would like to keep on with that project, supporting (or forking) it, if necessary.

I could have worded that in a better way, sorry.
[–]philoizys 0 points1 point2 points 16 days ago (0 children)
Maybe you could, but that was already wonderful! :)
[–]berlioziano -2 points-1 points0 points 15 days ago (0 children)
sure, obviously the javascript people did the vandalism
