Better example: recent discussion on whether to increase thumbnail image size cross-project. <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21117> Software permitting, probably we'll increase the default thumb width across all projects. We aren't holding a poll in Meta first or anything, but this is a considerably more user-visible change than adjusting the access rights to an obscure and largely useless special page. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
