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