I don't think Mark meant that *you* (or WMUA) were "arbitrary people"! If we enable the RSS extension on a wiki that anyone can edit, then other random people (not you guys) could use this extension and that might be a security vulnerability. Whether or not it's a security concern, though, is the decision of the ops team. Mark is the bugmeister, so he's just making sure that all of the information here is complete and clear, and making sure that the right people see it. He's trying to make sure your bug gets handled as soon as it possibly can. :-) > I just have protected http://ua.wikimedia.org/wiki/Вікімедіа_Україна (the main > page of the beb-site). What did you mean when you said that some sort of > protection should be added to the wiki. I think Mark meant something for the whole site, such as disabling IP editing, but I could be wrong. By the way, Mark, this bug is very similar: bug 26732. They both deal with enabling the RSS extension on public sites. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
