I'm okay with delaying some of the questions I brought up for the future, but I do think the requirements are necessary. To be fair Ori, namespaces I think you've added are things like Schema. These were not requested by the community, and we had complete control over what we thought was minimally necessary. They also didn't have the kind of far-reaching impact that a Draft namespace on our largest project does. I'm not saying we need to wait months or something, but I am saying we should make sure the absolute basics are agreed on and tested. -- 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
