--- Comment #17 from WhatamIdoing <[email protected]> --- >> I want what you see at >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PleaseStand/User_info > > And you can easily have that by installing the user script. :-) If the script worked at all of the WMF wikis, then you'd be right. But it doesn't, and I don't know how to fix it. Even if it did work, having each person who wants to have this information manually install it individually—at each of a couple dozen wikis per user—doesn't sound like an efficient solution. I don't think that it makes sense to have an opt-out for individual users: if I'm blocked or an admin, or I've made ten thousand edits, then there's no sense in me being able to "hide" that public information from you. The information is readily available. If they don't want their gender known, then they shouldn't set it in Special:Preferences, but in gendered languages (i.e., not English), few people object to this, and many would approve of being addressed correctly more often. I think it would be okay to have it be an opt-in for the viewing user, though; if I believe I might be biased by seeing the age of someone's account, then I might choose not to enable it. I suspect that turning it off isn't going to be a popular choice, and it's probably the sort of thing that could be suppressed in CSS if it were really important to an individual user, so a prefs setting is probably not needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
