Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Slipping quality as Wikipedia gets
bigger (formerlyCan you trust Wikipedia?)
Well, as the author of said feature, I've been asking for a
long time what's the holdup. I'm fairly certain it is, at the
very least, ready for the planned test phase. I keep asking
people what should be fixed, but so far (that is, in the last
few month) noone could tell me the reason it remains turned off.
If parts of it are broken or not up to MediaWiki standard or
Evil(tm) in some other important way, please, PLEASE tell me
so I can fix it.
Should I backport it from CVS HEAD to some other branch?
Which one? Anything!
So far, I've been mostly ignored.
Magnus
Please put this feature into effect immediately! If we don't like it, we
can always turn it off afterwards. But we will NEVER know if thousands
of Wikipedians will like it if we wait for an overwhelming clamor on
this mailing list.
If it does anything to further degrade Wikipedia's performance, I'd
recommend not putting it in.
Jay.
