            Bug ID: 56433
           Summary: Temporarily scale back deployment of
                    UniversalLanguageSelector (ULS) to Wikimedia wikis
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: wmf-deployment
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Site requests
          Assignee: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

Currently [[mw:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector]] (ULS) is enabled on all
Wikimedia wikis. Given bug 46306 and bug 56292 (and various duplicate bugs), I
think we should consider possibly scaling back the deployment of the extension
temporarily. I think this would have a few benefits:

* users who are currently experiencing performance issues would stop clamoring
for a user preference to completely disable the extension;

* developers working on the extension would have slightly reduced stress to
deal with the performance concerns; and

* it might allow us to try to better focus on which features are truly needed
where, improving performance by eliminating unnecessary CSS or JS from being
loaded on sites where ULS isn't really being used.

Submitted as an unconfirmed ticket for consideration.
