Vito Genovese <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|WONTFIX |--- --- Comment #26 from Vito Genovese <[email protected]> --- *sigh* If you were going to reject this outright, then why the heck did you waste our time with "gerrit this, and gerrit that" non-sense? What we are asking is exactly what ckb.wiki, en.wiki, es.wikibooks, fa.wiki, id.wiki, and ta.wiki have (not to mention a few wikimania wikis). This is not unprecedented. This is *not* "createpage", and it certainly does not conflict with our philosophy. You are obligated to provide something that has precedent to a community that has reached a clear consensus. As I've mentioned before, Turkish Wikipedia is one of the most vandalized wikis of the WMF. Its established users to all users ratio is incredibly low, and frankly, all we do sometimes is to deal with the FlaggedRevs reviews. For a wiki that has such a ratio, the job becomes instantly overwhelming, and most of the problematic edits that is reverted / has to be fixed are the kind that could not be prevented with abuse filters (By the way we have no filter-savvy users who can write one from scratch). We are understaffed, frustrated, and working quite unefficiently, which is a notion that is supported by the whole community. By the way, if you do not believe any of this, just check out the internet usage statistics in Turkey. You seem to ignore the fact that cultural differences and societal habits tend to influence the editing behavior, and the anonymous userbase of one wiki may be constructive, while in another wiki they may resort to vandalism way too often. I did not ask you to ban IP editing altogether, I merely asked you to disallow article creation, and I clearly explained that due processes such as Articles for Creation, and Article Wizard were to be implemented with crystal clear instructions, which would improve the quality of the prospective content. If you require more support and opinions from the community, fine, I'll try to make it happen; but just don't waste our time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
