But that is exactly the problem; you left in the *old* yellow against a much mellower blue. If that blue was as bright as the old green, it would be much less of a problem. I don't know how expert you are in CSS and web colors, but there should really have been more attention to matching all

Why didn't you test the original blue/green? What were your findings on that? You should have applied the colors as present in the patch, as these were the colors agreen upon in the original commit, which were blue for deleted content, and green for added content. Those had been tested by

[Wikitech-l] LDAP extension ownership

I haven't been actively maintaining the LDAP extension for MediaWiki for over two years. There's not really much that needs to change, but some basic love and care is likely a good idea. The LDAP extension is one of the most popular MediaWiki extensions, so it wouldn't be great if it was broken

The best option here is: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication I'm not sure why you think LDAP is a wart on Windows. Active Directory is just LDAP with Kerberos. Anyway, the LDAP Authentication extension has examples of how to do auto-auth using kerberos. You still need

The most likely way for people to see codes of conduct is through repositories, which lets them know they have some way to combat harassment in the tool they're using to try to contribute to a particular repository. It makes sense to have a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md in the repos; however, if all the
