Ryan Kaldari <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #14 from Ryan Kaldari <[email protected]> --- As explained at http://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/05/02/the-wikipedia-editors-behind-the-curtain/, the rationale for surfacing authorship information is to help transition readers into editors. Getting more editors increases the depth and quality of Wikipedia. No evidence has been provided that a "Last edited" statement is confusing, nor would I expect it to be. The issue of how "anonymous" Wikipedia articles should be is not a proper subject for Bugzilla discussion. That would be better discussed on meta, a mailing list, or in an RFC. Reopening the bug isn't going to accomplish anything except creating extra cruft in Bugzilla. Even if I completely agreed with your argument, a single Bugzilla bug is not going to be sufficient for reversing the current trajectory of the product, which is to "humanize" Wikipedia by surfacing more information about editors in the interface. In order for the PMs to agree to your course of action they would have to rethink that trajectory. In other words, this isn't really a bug, but a fundamental difference of opinion about the interface. Such a difference of opinion is not going to be settled in a Bugzilla discussion. That said, I would welcome having a discussion about the issue of surfacing authorship, just not here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
