I also generally discuss what I can offwiki (using a number of channels, but mainly Telegram) , and leave to onwiki discussions what is strictly necessary, but it has much more to do with the slowness and lack of usability of the wiki talk system, than with a toxic environment. That being said, th

My two cents: I'd rather have such discussions on wiki. Old browsers are more compatible with the wiki website, and it'd be more convenient and accessible otherwise. On Jun 25, 2019, at 11:01 AM, Fæ wrote: > On Tue, 25 Jun 2019 at 18:47, Maria Cruz wrote: >> >> Hello everyone, >> >>
