--- Comment #6 from Snottywong <[email protected]> 2011-08-04 19:40:36 UTC --- Can someone explain to me how things work here when editors need to interface with the developers to make a change? We were hoping to just clearly explain what we need, point to the successful proposal which shows community consensus for a trial of the change, and get a dev to flip the user-rights switch for us. We were not aware that the entire concept was subject to another round of re-litigation by the developers at the 11th hour once the request is made on bugzilla. In particular, I'm concerned that these bugzilla discussions are not visible to any of the hundreds of editors who participated in the actual request for comments on enwiki. If there are technical issues with making this change, please let us know and we will work with you to resolve them. If you have editorial concerns about the change, then my feeling is that those concerns should have been voiced at the proposal, which ran for nearly 2 months and was widely advertised all over the village pump and centralized discussion areas. I don't want to come off as hostile and I don't want to dismiss anyone's legitimate concerns, but I feel like the comments being made here are essentially editorial comments by editors who missed the original proposal, and I find these comments to be out of place in this venue. Please let me know if my concerns are unfounded, or if this is the status quo here. Many editors have been planning the details of this trial for close to 6 months and are itching to see it get underway. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
