I opened the request because I wanted the change to be encoded into the he.wikipedia source, and not be done using js. From the community's POV, this "fix" isn't a fix, but a problem. Thus, I don't see why a problem should be reated only for it to be fixed using JS on user-side. > The Try Beta link was *intended* to appear at the beginning of p-personal, > before the user page link.

The Try Beta link was inserted without asking the community where they'd like it to be, thus it was fixed using JS. This was not the correct way to handle it, but the easy way. The correct way would have been to fix the source code so that the Try Beta link would appear when the community wishes it to be. The theory that Hebrew speakers read left aligned text in RTL direction needs to be checked. I will present the question to the community and see what the Hebrew speakers think (I read English too, so my opinion isn't worth anything). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- 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
