I of course assumed that tests were done somewhere or other and were verified independently to ensure that the script worked properly, and you have confirmed that. Nonetheless, I strongly encourage an advance communication strategy (perhaps using the community liaisons) to all Wikimedia projects where there are oversighted edits. When the extension was in use, it was broadly and publicly advertised as "permanent removal", and aside from a brief hint that maybe there might be some way to switch things over, nothing happened for the five years after suppression/revision deletion was activated, so this change is not in any way expected by the various communities that will be affected. I don't know how many projects have oversighted edits, or how many there are in total (English Wikipedia has about 20,000), but many of the users whose personal information was oversighted back in the day are still active, and there is good reason to anticipate some negative reaction if there isn't solid communication in advance. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
