+1 At the beginning, I was quite neutral about a filter: I had no idea how it would work, and I wouldn't use it, but what if somebody else wants it? But after reading nearly all comments on this list, I think that the arguments for a filter do not hold water. The pratical implemention would be a nightmare, and the purpose not really within Wikimedia mission. The thread above on how to create categories for a filter is full of irrational assumptions, impracticable propositions, and impossible solutions. It seems it is time to drop the whole idea... > Regards, > Oliver Regards, Yann _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
