--- Comment #113 from billinghurst <[email protected]> --- The Wikisources were using the functionality of ULS within templates as a means to show these character sets as per the works being replicated, and this enabled these different character sets, easily even something like the blackletter font-family:'UnifrakturMaguntia' Having this functionality OFF by default means that the Wikisources cannot know that the font will show unless we convince people to turn it on (somehow), and to even be able to notify them how to do it. Out of my technical grasp of how to now implement this, and for the broader communities to have to nut out the issue, from a bugzilla report about which they know nothing is not helpful. NOTE ABOUT PROCESS That this disabling out of the normal release cycle, and without information to the wikis is quite problematic. If changes like this are going to happen, it would be good for solutions to be provided prior to the change, for the change to communicated. We have have a forum for such things, and it wasn't used. It is not a case of the whipping boy, but this is a repeat of earlier instances, and a massive case of <grrrr> <face palm> with lashings of deja vu. How is WMF going to demonstrate that they will utilise the processes that they have advocated for such changes where the impact is broad? -- 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
