Hmm, right. We'll probably need one tracking bug for "core user preferences evaluation" and then several underlying tracking bugs for the various options of what to do (gadgetize --> this bug; remove altogether --> another tracking bug; move to a different section --> another [tracking] bug; etc.). > What you want is probably a RfC to produce some criteria to decide what > preferences are "useless" and can be removed or disabled, and what's the > process to follow.

Aye: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Core_user_preferences>. > I personally prefer solutions which don't remove functionality: there's much > more to do in that area, see e.g. the confusion tracked by bug 31882. Adding a user preference isn't a blood oath to always support the feature in that particular implementation. Moving things out of core (and/or into gadgets) is fine sometimes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
