So that there's a clear idea of impact: "half the users *who use those features*" are impacted?

About 40% of the users of Wikipedia are using Internet Explorer. For all of those users, unless I am misunderstanding the problem, some of our API functions are currently disabled. We have a few deployed extensions that make use of these API functions specifically. The only two I know about personally are WikiLove and UploadWizard. It sounds like UploadWizard is already working around this problem according to Neil, so the impact may be limited to WikiLove and individual/bot API use. Within WikiLove, the problem seems to be limited to the "make your own" feature. There may be other extensions that are affected as well, but I haven't checked.
