Re: [Wikitech-l] Long summary upon reverting an IPv6 anon

Re: [Wikitech-l] logging out on one device logs user out everywhere

I've actually found this to be a rather big pet peeve of mine w/ CentralAuth over the years. It would seem that logging out in CentralAuth means deleting everything in the cache with the user's info in it. I'd prefer that we did Google's system that, in addition to allowing a separate sign out

Re: [Wikitech-l] .wiki gTLD

Ultimately, registering .wiki names for Wikimedia wikis might improve accessibility to our wikis and further the concept of wikis in general, but (second-level) domain names aren't free (with few exceptions), so the foundation would have to take it up as an additional cost. On Tue, Mar 25, 2014

Re: [Wikitech-l] .wiki gTLD

One asks whether the Foundation would've asked for a .wikimedia tld when ICANN had that application period open (provided we actually could've afforded funds to pay the huge fees required). On Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 2:05 PM, Marc A. Pelletier m...@uberbox.org wrote: On 02/20/2014 04:51 PM, Brion

Re: [Wikitech-l] Jake requests enabling access and edit access to Wikipedia via TOR

This question is analogous to the question of open proxies. The answer has universally been that the costs (abuse) are just too high. However, we might consider doing what the freenode IRC network does. Freenode requires SASL authentication to connect on Tor, which basically means only users with
