Why not start informing ie8 users now so that it gives them plenty of time to update. I would recommend them switching to chrome or firefox if on windows xp since ie9 is not available on windows xp. On Thursday, 12 November 2015, 18:50, Ryan Kaldari wrote:

All, I just finished auditing these two lists, and removed ~50% of their subscribers. Those removed were set to not receive e-mail...on an unarchived list...rendering their subscription pointless. Considering ~50% of subscribers weren't even using the list, and we only have 130 remaining

Perhaps I should clarify why this is a problem. In fully responsive skins, you generally have separate stylesheets for desktop, mobile, really big desktop, whatever in order to keep the CSS rules simple and not redundant (to avoid having mobile overriding desktop rules or visa versa, you just

Hashar: I think your criticisms of git-review might be out of date. On my debian system, "sudo apt-get install git-review" was sufficient to install a version of git review which is adequate for all my needs (I have never noticed any of the "known issues" you mention). And "git review -s" is a

On WikiMedia Tools Lab neither "git review -s" nor "git review -u" work in my tools. They run endlessly until you abort then with a keyboard interrupt. That is annoying. Purodha On 12.11.2015 17:35, C. Scott Ananian wrote: Hashar: I think your criticisms of git-review might be out of date.

Would it be worth running a CentralNotice banner in January specifically for IE8 users to inform them of the change and encourage them to upgrade? On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 7:11 PM, Krinkle wrote: > Hey all, > > Starting in January 2016, MediaWiki will end JavaScript
