Wikimedia Foundation Inc. employees have blocked the ability of new users to report bugs or file feature requests or even read the issue tracker. But yes, please focus on me calling Andre a troll for resetting the priority of <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T197550>. My single comment ("andre__: Such a troll.") is clearly what contributes to an unwelcoming environment for contributors, not blocking them from reading the site and demanding that they be vetted first. Great work, all. A pseudo-focus on "civility" while you take a hard-line and skeptical view toward outsiders. Maybe these people are auditioning for roles in the Trump Administration. :-) I'm mostly forwarding this garbage here so that there's some better and more appropriate context when, in a few months, someone says "well, the code of conduct committee has dealt with dozens of incidents! Clearly it's necessary!" The people pushing this campaign for more bureaucracy have repeatedly declined to provide specifics about incidents because it's pretty obvious that nobody would take them seriously (and rightfully!) if there were a clearer understanding of what they're actually doing. Best! MZMcBride _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
