Now go to
meta.wikimedia.org (1), create a new account there and click
on your "My contributions" link. And see what you see on the top line
of Special:Contributions : "Abuse Log". My preference on meta is
French, and it reads ("Journal des abus"). In French "Journal" means
both "Log" and "Newspaper". It sort of says "you are already
making
headlines in newspapers for abuse".
It means Wikimedia users are considered as suspects from the first
time they set foot into the wiki. It means that the climate there is a
climate where everyone suspects everybody else, where you are guilty
until proven innocent, and where bad faith is assumed (3).
So, in a word, you're not complaining about the tool itself, you're
complaining about how a tool is named. I invite you to raise your
concerns with the developers and to propose a better French
translation at
translatewiki.net.
Any other wikilawyering or claim of assuming bad faith is completely
unnecessary and unhelpful.
