The reason for the initial change is indeed to increase accesability. And the discussion I refer to was *not* in Wikipedia, but in the comment section of the commits in question. We had a very nice scheme ready for commit, when Brandon came in and simply ignored everything. But... I have now submitted a new bug report (33335) with patch that outlines any change in detail. So the old discussion is moot as far as I am concerned. Please review and comment there. -- Erwin Dokter _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
