If I understand correctly emijrp here's the issue. 1) There's a global policy on data 2) German wikipedia have a more strict interpretation 3) Emijrp claims his page on spanish wikipedia doesn't break the global policy (or any eswiki policy) 4) And while it's not allowed on dewiki (by a local policy, therefore getting deleted) local policies of a wikipedia are, by definition of local, only applied on that wiki. User is not complaining that page violates global policy, only local one. And emijrp points that global policy considers editcount as public. Now people say "yes, but dewiki has a more strict policy", but again this is not abotu dewiki (correctly) being able to have stronger local policies. This is similar to the issue a few weeks ago where a wiki decided to enact a policy banning some images. It's a local policy, being applied on that wiki. But noone expects such a stronger image policy to be a valid reason for deletion on other wikis. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
