==== How to add an invisible comment ====

Manually you can enclose the text you intend to be read only by editors between <code>&lt;!--</code> and <code>--&gt;</code>. For example:
*{{tag|!--|content=&nbsp;If you change this section title, also change the links to it on the pages&nbsp;...&nbsp;|wrap=yes}} {{small|(there are bots which can do this, see [[MOS:RENAMESECTION]], preferably {{tlxs|anchor}} should be used to prevent this problem.)}}
*{{tag|!--|content=&nbsp;When adding table entries, remember to update the total given in the text.&nbsp;|wrap=yes}}
The [[Help:Edit toolbar|VisualEditor toolbar]] (not the source editor toolbar) can also be used:
*Click the "Insert" dropdown [[File:OOjs UI icon add.svg|link=|alt=plus sign]]{{nbsp}}[[File:OOjs UI icon expand.svg|12px|link=|alt=down arrow]]
*Select <!-- [[File:OOjs UI icon speechBubble-ltr.svg|15px|link=|alt=black speech bubble]] -->[[File:OOjs UI icon speechBubble-ltr.svg|15px|link=|alt=speech bubble]]{{nbsp}}"Invisible comment". (You may have to press [[File:OOjs UI icon expand.svg|12px|link=|alt=down arrow]]{{nbsp}}"More").
This will produce <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline><!-- Invisible comment --></syntaxhighlight>, or if text is selected it will nest the text between <code>&lt;!--</code> and <code>--&gt;</code>.
