What sort of debugging information is useful depends on the situation. In most cases the type of information I mentioned would be overkill. >> >> A little gratitude to someone trying to help you fix a problem >> wouldn't go amiss... We appreciate the bug report, we just can't do anything about it without more information. To give a (not entirely fair) comparison, imagine someone posted on your talk page that there was a spelling error on Wikipedia. I assume you would respond to such a report with "where?", it wouldn't be because you're ungrateful that you respond like that, but simply that you cannot fix the issue without more information (Wikipedia is a big place). The situation here is somewhat similar. We're grateful for the report, but would need more information before we can do anything about it. --bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
