• SnowFire (talk) 16:53, 14 November 2019 (UTC) - I'm interested, but quick sanity check - the bag checking procedure above is not required, correct? i.e. bringing a laptop in a backpack is fine with which to edit?

Yeah, laptop in a bag should be ok as long as you don't take them into the galleries.--Pharos (talk) 16:58, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
