<br>
I just noticed<br>
<a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#User_preferences" target="_blank">https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#User_preferences</a><br>
so I wondered where the data comes from. I checked the commonswiki_p<br>
database and it looks like user_properties is visible now. I always<br>
considered the user_properties information privacy sensitive<br>
information. It contains the gender, language and timezone of every<br>
user. Information I'm sure a lot of people don't want to have exposed.<br>
Please remove this table from the view.<br>
