Well thank you Brion, at least that may explains why things are imposed to the editors community and that also explains the high rejection rate from the editors community of the new big features such as VE. For once take time, think about editors workflow.
For exemple on french wikipedia we used to have a direct link to Wikimedia Commons (we technically removed the description page proxy), now we have totally lost this feature. So yes you may think it's not important, but as an administrator on Wikimedia Commons it screws my workflow when I see an obvious copyvio on the French Wikipedia. So yes you make software for your users, but I think you're underestimating part of your users that you should not. 2014-07-10 18:36 GMT+02:00 Isarra Yos <[email protected]>: > On 10/07/14 15:53, Brion Vibber wrote: > >> Perhaps it's time to stop calling self-selected surveys of a tiny subset >> of >> our user base "community consensus". >> >> The vast majority of our user base never logs in, never edits, and never >> even hears about these RfC pages.
