Reader suggestion: If the chapters are missing because the scanlator forbade to release them outside of their site, make it possible to link there :re

Or at least, to post the name of the group.

@Ikemen We won't post a link to their site because they've already chosen to opt out of showing their stuff on MangaDex. If you want to figure out the group, MangaUpdates always has that information readily available.

@Plykiya
Not sure that counts. Groups who opt out do so because they want more traffic on their site. Then, having the link in the reader would only be beneficial to them. Although you may not want to help them. The only bad thing here is it incentivizes groups to opt out. I doubt, however, many groups would opt out solely because of this feature. That's because they could do it manually, by restricting upload access to group members and posting, say only the first chapter's page with a link to their site.
Lurking through MU takes up too much time. Not great for user experience.

@ikemen We can't really help that groups choose to opt out. Incentivizing the behavior and helping groups that don't want anything to do with us doesn't do anything beneficial for us since it drives traffic away from the site. All groups so far that choose to opt out generally remove everything because their concern isn't about traffic, it's about denying content to MangaDex because we offer it as an option. Nothing wrong with it, we'll respect their decision.

Li'rally one click away and some scrolling. Five seconds tops?
