That value is (deliberately) stripped on tool labs (though not for labs projects in general) to allow tool labs tools to fall within the general Wikimedia privacy policy rather than the less restrictive Labs privacy policy. That turns out to be important in the cases where tools are directly linked (or even embedded) on project pages, where it is important that endusers do not unwillingly access resources with lower privacy requirements. Otherwise, our general privacy policy would entirely disallow embedding and only allow link to tools with an intersitial disclaimer (which would suck). -- Marc _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
