Hi everyone,

I just noticed
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#User_preferences
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.

Maarten
