https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24411 --- Comment #25 from Aaron Schulz jschulz_4...@msn.com 2011-01-27 00:27:10 UTC --- (In reply to comment #23) (In reply to comment #21) I have limited time to look at this. But, for a patch: (i) All agent results should deal with duplicate agent strings and the time bounds for each (of the 5000 checked). (ii) I would remove the get agents for IP or at least display the results per each account (or IP for non-logged in edits). Doing it on a range gives hard-to-use results. I'm not sure I can understand the first part; I agree with the second part. Identical agent strings should be grouped together or consecutive ones collapsed or something. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

Right here, we are only talking about the technical aspects of a software extension. How this extension is used on specific websites (an example is English Wikipedia) is not relevant here. Wikimedia admins might decide not to allow using specific features of this extension on their website, as other might want to. Wikimedia owners might also want to explain the usage of user information in their privacy disclaimers in the way they prefer. Same applies to other wikis on the web. If you have a problem with them, talk with them! Don't continue to use this software bug tracker to bug the developers instead; I personally find that very insulting. Is this new feature going to be wrapped in a configuration variable? If so, what will the default be? There are legitimate questions to be raised about the Wikimedia privacy policy when development is being done to an extension already installed on Wikimedia's wikis. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

It follows the newly introduced UI modification of not having two separate radio buttons for IPs and Users when the action is basically similar.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24411 --- Comment #15 from Huji huji.h...@gmail.com 2010-11-18 23:18:38 UTC --- The whole point of adding this feature is to facilitate finding a UA without having to go through a long list of possibly duplicated UAs. Assume an IP range includes a very large number of users, and many of them have overlapping user-agents. When someone is only looking for specific user-agents, the tedious task of manually going through all these records could change into a rapid check of the list of unique user-agents used by the whole range. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

Did you ever consider actually mentioning in the Foundation privacy policy that you track everyone's user-agent? We already scan them to get access to the site. Yep. Absolutely zero need to store them in order to do that, though -- storage of UAs is done solely to let checkusers loose on them. According to the privacy policy, you only store IP addresses (and you only use them to deal with abuse, rather than say to find out what editing tool someone is using, but hey at least *admitting* you store UAs would be a start). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

This is probably not the best place to argue about it. I'm not surprised about it. I do however disagree with the subversion of the privacy policy that implementation of this bug would contribute to. Like the privacy policy, the CheckUser policy page on Meta also makes no mention of the fact that user-agent strings are stored. The extension documentation does not mention it directly, but user-agent data is visible in the example screenshots. I'm pretty sure having the information buried in a technical documentation page on another website doesn't fulfill the requirement of the privacy policy to state what data is being retained and why. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
