[quote] Rarely, a community consensus will emerge for a particular wiki configuration change that is technically feasible to implement, but is rejected by the system administrators. Arguably this is a demonstration of a technocracy. This page serves to document these instances. [/quote]
If anyone knows of any other bugs/requests, please feel free to list them. As the page notes, these rejections are rare, but in my opinion they offer a fascinating look into the "Wikipedia power structure."[1]

The community, God love it, is *frequently* on crack, and needs to be told "just no." The recent move to further lock down article creation on en:wp is a great recent example.
