Rainer Rillke @commons.wikimedia <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #12 from Rainer Rillke @commons.wikimedia <[email protected]> --- (In reply to James Forrester from comment #6) > Your comments should have been made as part of the RfC process which was on MediaWiki.org. And MediaWiki.org is a wiki ruled by and for MediaWiki developers. I never had the feeling being invited editing that wiki in any kind nor sharing my incompetent opinion there. Apart from that, I've hard times not to compare this course of action to some German or even Vogon bureaucracy. Obviously, one wanted the input by developers but ... again forgot(?) to asking the biggest consumer(s). Or did one merge this patch as some kind of mock too see how much riot it will cause? Seriously: * Some information about how to deal with the software change to WIKIPEDIA would have been a great idea. More prominent announcements welcome. I thought there were Community Liaisons to do the footwork? * I do not expect anyone writing sample code to fix thousands of templates or articles but I would expect creating a central page coordinating update of these in all WMF projects including check lists and space for contributors adding such code as well as some means for community members to systematically identify articles containing images that (will) change their sizes, e.g. a Toolserver Tool. * Doing what is done now, gathering "sober reflections on image sizing and describe your use cases" - couldn't this be done before such changes? Or while doing so while running A/B-Testing? * Studies on how the changes (could) affect the reader's experience are missing. "provides a better default appearance" needs to be proven. -- 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
