See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllMessages&prefix=&filter=modified&lang=en&limit=5000 for enwiki's customizations for example (although English might not be included in the purge), or https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:MediaWiki-Systemnachrichten&prefix=&filter=modified&lang=de&limit=5000 for dewiki's. "Added since 2018-09-27" would only be marginally better. Old overrides wouldn't be lost, but you'd still wipe out new overrides that are intended to actually be overrides rather than workarounds for this issue. -- Brad Jorsch (Anomie) Senior Software Engineer Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
