For reference: [[ The link is not public. You'd better specify it. ]] The message wording is awkward indeed. Note the color-coding that suggests this is informational - it could be improved, do you have any suggestion? I would suggest the following wording [[ This resource appears to be password-protected. You may want to mention it on your page linking to it. ]] > Please specify what I should do differently to make this message > go away, or at least what I should do to address this message > properly. I am not aware of any particular markup that would inform machines that a link leads to a password-protected resource, so the suggestion is one of human check. If you think your link clearly states that the resource needs authentication, or do not want to take care of it, the (informational) message can be ignored. Regards, -- olivier
