Less random actionable: file a bug for it not to be a link? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57648 --- Comment #5 from Sam Reed (reedy) s...@reedyboy.net --- I hate this notion that people think they need to have things assigned to them to be able to do it. I know I've fixed many not assigned to me, and then being closed without it still being assigned. You know, that time when we didn't bother with assignee at all. A comment on the bug more than sufficient -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57648 --- Comment #6 from Nemo federicol...@tiscali.it --- I don't think we care about assignee more than we did in the past. We're trying to reduce confusion about that, we seem to be working against some external mis-educating force. If the Assignee: Nobody field itself is considered evil, Reedy, you could file a bug about collapsing or otherwise hiding it as long as it's unused, as recently done for flags. Or something. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57648 --- Comment #7 from Andre Klapper aklap...@wikimedia.org --- (In reply to Sam Reed (reedy) from comment #5) I hate this notion that people think they need to have things assigned to them to be able to do it. I am trying to explain this in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs#Helpful_information_for_new_MediaWiki_coders which should become the main entrance point for bugs with the easy keyword. Currently it says: You do not need to be set as the assignee in a bug report or announce your plans before you start working on a bug, but it is welcome. At the latest when you are close to creating a patch for the bug, it is good to announce in a comment that you are working on it. Comments on its talkpage welcome. Or editing. Be bold! ;) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

(which does not necessarily mean that you need to change assignee, you can also express such intention in a comment). Hence I'm closing this as FIXED, though finding a good phrase which is not too long probably has great bikeshed potential. :D -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

At the moment, that text would be tantalisingly misleading.

I'd love to replace Nobody by something more descriptive, like Nobody working on it, feel free to take it. But shorter.
