Charles,
There may well be fallacies. Perhaps you could point out one or two of them. There is also
evasion of responsibility, and delaying of what should have been done already by an
ethical and competent organisation, and as usual, a lot of commenting, queries and demands
from people who do not know the background. We are accustomed to this.
Cheers,
Peter

Amir,
“some people are now thinking of undeploying the {{short description}} feature”
Who? Where is this being discussed? I am not sure what you mean by “undeploying the
feature”
Agree that it was a badly handled problem and massive time-sink, but would prefer that the
baby is not thrown out with the bathwater.
Cheers,

On
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF) now, and a lot of different
and contradicting opinions are thrown around there.
Clearly, if there is a definite demand for scraps of human-readable text attached to
things, some people will spend time arguing that the consumer is always wrong in these
situations. Just as, if you point out that it provides another way to search, they will
argue that people don't, can't or shouldn't search in such ways.
I feel there are fallacies lurking here, or anti-patterns, and would be happy to have
names for them.
