--- Comment #81 from Eduard Braun <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #75) I think you summed up the issue very well Erik capturing most of the problems around ULS. Following some of my thoughts regarding your post: > 1) Does ULS have an unacceptable performance impact on some users which needs > to be mitigated; That depends on the definition of "unacceptable". *After most of the serious performance issues are solved now performance is probably acceptable on most hardware given a sufficiently fast internet connection. *On old hardware or a slow internet connection performance is still insufficient as mentioned above. *For people who never use any of the features of ULS the the performance impact can always be considered unacceptable - why use substantial processing power, memory and bandwidth for an unused feature? > 2) Does ULS include functionality that is simply irrelevant for some users > while cluttering UI; Definetly yes! The only language feature I ever used is setting UI language - and I did that only once in the my user preferences. Therefore ULS is completely redundant for me. Regarding cluttering I'm especially annoyed on Commons (which has the language name written out prominently on top of the page. Since I set different languages on Commons (English) and my home Wiki (German) I often see distracting "Language changed from ..." pop-ups when navigating from German Wikipedia to Commons via interwikilinks. > 3) Is there a specific "third party" vs. "WMF" issue here. I don't think so. I'm not active on any third party Wiki that would use ULS. I'm having these Issues on WMF Wikis! > It's possible to force use of system fonts; however, I don't see an option to > disable font-loading altogether. Having that be an option within ULS itself > may be useful for users of slow connections. Has that been discussed? Not really. I mentioned it once but it wasn't really considered. But it would be definitly a step into the right direction. -- 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
