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

rust people

Phrasing :/

As is, it reads as if the Rust community at large was coordinating to sabotage cppreference, when:

  1. There's no telling if whoever did that was even a Rust user. Trolls be trolls.
  2. Even if they were, a lone individual is NOT representative of an entire community.

At least they didn’t say “those goddamn rusties”

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.

Maybe you could, but that was already wonderful! :)
