It wasn't even built for deletion. I don't like starting from the assumption that we should use it as such, because it means that it gives us an excuse to lag on building in oversight, and in the meantime cripple the community's ability to deal with the other kinds of feedback that really need to be removed. The number of cases where this scenario would happen are much much smaller than the amount of really poor feedback or regular vandalism which need to be removed from the queue. Rather than playing to the edge case here for the tiny minority of content that merits oversight, I would like us to build in what's necessary to have a real oversight tool, not misuse something that should be more widely available and for a different purpose. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
