Is there a bugzilla feature request for hiding IP addresses? Another solution: add a new database table that maps IP addresses to some kind of key. Let's call it IP-key. Almost everywhere where now the IP is used, use IP-key instead. Only resolve IP-key to IP (and vice versa) when you have to.

2012-06-09 Thread Jeroen De Dauw
Hey, Why do you want to keep interwikis in the article? I think you could directly drop langlinks table if interwikis are managed by wikidata. Usage of Wikidata is optional. Initially it will only be used where turned on. And people will be able to override language links locally. Cheers --

Hey, So is it possible at this point to have wikibugs join another channel (ie wikimedia-wikidata) and only report bugs reported for certain components (ie the wikidata extensions) there? Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw http://www.bn2vs.com Don't panic. Don't be evil. --
