Description Fabrice Florin 2012-08-17 07:04:43 UTC 
This feature would require users to be registered before they can post feedback on protected or semi-protected articles, to reduce the quantity of inappropriate feedback on these controversial pages. 

Given that about 98% of the comments come from anonymous users, this will have a radical effect on the number of posts on these popular pages and for the tool overall. This would address community concerns that anonymous feedback is not as useful on controversial pages as elsewhere.
Comment 1 Matthias Mullie 2012-08-17 10:42:08 UTC 
Pushed to Gerrit (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/20282/) & prototype.

Anons will not see the feedback form on protected posts.
If desired, I could also just limit it to only the people that do have the permissions to edit the page (e.g. newbie users would be excluded as well)
Comment 2 Matthias Mullie 2012-08-29 09:21:20 UTC 
This has feature been replaced by https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39451
