--- Comment #14 from varnent <[email protected]> 2011-12-02 00:09:26 UTC --- That's a fair point as well. I have to imagine it's time will eventually come on enWP. Although even reading that conversation - I would feel confident building evidence of enough support to move forward with at least a trial. The people who oppose it often cite technically (it allows FB to stalk you) or otherwise inaccurate statements (it turns WP into a social network). Taking them seriously is hard to do... :) As has been pointed out in several essays and discussions - you could get a vocal minority to oppose just about ANY change to the interface of WP. I imagine suggesting a print feature (I know it already exists) would get arguments about paper use hurting environment going against WP's digital purpose, etc...not even realizing it's already there. I suspect at some point someone authoritative is just going to have to press the green button. But I digress... :) In the meantime, I think you're right, support for the language and other interested WMF wikis is a worthwhile undertaking. In particular I think good points have been brought up about the dangers in some of the solutions wikis are currently using - some of which some may argue violate WMF privacy polices, etc. I'm confident there are workable solutions for non-WMF wikis, but feel a reasonable solution within the technical guidelines and ethos of WMF wikis is lacking. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
