Neither am I and so do I. Most people reading these bugs and (sometimes) acting
on them are just volunteers, and they're not obligated to do *anything at all*.
WMF staff are usually busy enough working on the things they're being paid to
work on.

What you've shown is already possible reasonably easily using [[template:rp]]
from English Wikipedia (you can copy it to any wiki in like 30 seconds). But
personally, I just don't like this solution at all, so I'm not going to spend
my time implementing it, as there's no shortage of things I care about to work
on.

If it works for you, great, I'm glad; but I believe it won't work for most
people, and as you've shown, it's trivial for anybody wanting this to use it.


(Sorry about the OT rant.)
