--- Comment #5 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #3) > opened it as a counterpoint to > https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52807 In my mind, adding a user preference is a last resort. We know empirically that most users never change their preferences and there's a very real cost in terms of wasting human time requiring users to select/modify their preferences and in terms of increasing code complexity, which leads to wasting human time developing more advanced code. The answer is to have sane defaults and only add a user preference when it's absolutely necessary. I feel similarly about global configuration variables in MediaWiki. Creating tracking tickets takes a bit of practice and patience. I love the recent boldness, but do try to realize that it resulted in _dozens_ of e-mails to many people and ultimately a few of the bugs have been speedily closed. A bit of practice and patience. :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
