[Toolserver-l] user_properties privacy issues

[Maarten Dammers]

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.
