Oliver Keyes <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #11 from Oliver Keyes <[email protected]> --- Er. What? As I've said, VE is an extension. Parsoid is an extension. This page is not /based/ on a MediaWiki namespace page, it is based on a string in the i8on file. To fully deprecate it we'd have to find some way of fully suppressing it or remove it completely from mediawiki. This would impact not only wikis with the VE but also those without. Moreover, I'm not sure how users receiving less information is, in this case, a problem, because I've never seen any evidence users actually /read/ those notices. I've been patrolling new pages since 2010; if CITE YOUR SOURCES! and the warning not to submit copyrighted content actually worked to inform people, I'd be the first person to hold my hands up and go "this is awesome and we need to keep it". They don't. I'm (again) closing this as a WONTFIX. If people want to dispute that, I welcome an argument made as to how having this message helps - or how silently removing it from every Wikimedia instance of MediaWiki and dealing with the resulting fallout would be an effective use of our time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
