--- Comment #6 from Matthew Flaschen <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #5) > I mistakenly wrote the comment above thinking that I was commenting on bug > #26122. Yet, I feel like the argument still applies here, though to a lesser > extent due to potential backwards compatibility issues. I agree. EventLogging is a useful tool for the WMF, but it is not a substitute for MediaWiki's built-in logging. Built-in logging is important for third-party MW installs, on-wiki users (though obviously not everything is visible to all users), and the pages-logging.xml.gz dumps (though of course, what to dump requires consideration). Backwards compatibility is important, but it's not the only thing. Sometimes we have to break it to move forward. As noted, I think it can be solved for built-in logging either way (with or without backwards compatibility); they have different advantages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
