Could there be an option to permanently hide this warning, please?

For at least two of my goals it is part of my workflow to edit data, and every time the yellow warning throws me off for a couple of seconds.

(In my humble opinion, the right way to do this would be to print a warning when a user has changed the data in a way that would result in an instaderail but I see how that would be more effort.)

Maybe it’s planned as part of a limited-functionality training-wheels version of the site? As it stands, it’s just some visual clutter to learn to ignore.

Indeed, a warning before instaderail or an undo option would be a better solution.

I was just in a bad headspace yesterday and forgot that uBlock Origin can easily block unwanted elements:
