There is a tight line that we're forced to walk here.

This page has been carefully worded to be acceptable:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Third_party_repositories

Third party repositories should not be mentioned anywhere else in Fedora
wiki or documentation, instead, they should refer/link to the
"Third_party_reposiitories" page.

Hope that helps,
