Hostility and anger are not welcomed in this mailing list, neither in the
rest of Wikimedia spaces. Any problems can be reported and explained in a
respectful and even friendly way. The topics you are exposing in this
thread are no exception.
I expressed frustration and annoyance. Those aren't the same as hostility
or anger. And there's nothing wrong with being angry sometimes. Sometimes
people do stupid things and anger is the most appropriate (or at least the
most natural) reaction to have.
Please read
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Expected_behavior for more
thoughts about keeping our communities respectful, welcoming, and
friendly. If you want to discuss my reply, please use the discussion page
of the URL above, or reply to me directly. Let's keep this thread
on-topic about the update to the
www.wikipedia.org portal. Thank you.
No, you don't get to both start and end a tangent. You're as capable as
anyone of starting a new thread and you chose not to.

quim, i would not be angry if you would show a little

towards a client, a volunteer. if mzmcbride is right and there is a
well established procedure to change this page which was not followed,
the person not following might read the "expected behaviour" page.
Project portals such as
www.wikipedia.org were managed on Meta-Wiki:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Project_portals>. I believe most of the
portals continue to be managed on Meta-Wiki, with the exception of
www.wikipedia.org; background: <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110070>.
