The description of this bug is "New page Special:Userinfo". How is that different from bug 63988 except for the password and OAuth? I think the general consensus is to create either a new special page called "Special:UserInfo" or a section on action=info containing information such as registration date, gender, editcount, groups, block status, etc. (i.e., the things we can easily get from the User object, user table, and API). What WhatamIdoing described above seems to be a separate bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

But it doesn't, and I don't know how to fix it. Even if it did work, having each person who wants to have this information manually install it individually—at each of a couple dozen wikis per user—doesn't sound like an efficient solution. I don't think that it makes sense to have an opt-out for individual users: if I'm blocked or an admin, or I've made ten thousand edits, then there's no sense in me being able to "hide" that public information from you. The information is readily available. If they don't want their gender known, then they shouldn't set it in Special:Preferences, but in gendered languages (i.e., not English), few people object to this, and many would approve of being addressed correctly more often. I think it would be okay to have it be an opt-in for the viewing user, though; if I believe I might be biased by seeing the age of someone's account, then I might choose not to enable it. I suspect that turning it off isn't going to be a popular choice, and it's probably the sort of thing that could be suppressed in CSS if it were really important to an individual user, so a prefs setting is probably not needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

For each data point (gender, edit count, account age, user groups), we need to figure out whether the exposure of each (and collectively) should be: * displayed to anons and/or logged-in users; * configurable on a per-user basis (like I can check a box to display to the world what's known about me or disable this display on my user and user talk pages); and * configurable on a per-wiki basis (like an individual wiki can say to expose this data on user pages or not). And for each of these three bullets, I think you need to figure out what level of granularity you want to implement. That is, you could itemize the data points and allow users or wikis to opt in or opt out of displaying certain data points to anonymous users or logged-in users. Or you could make it all or none. I'm not sure whether this level of complexity is desired or warranted, but I think it could be. I'm not clear what level of support or opposition there is to the general idea of profiling users on their own user pages. -- 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

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22516 --- Comment #14 from Quiddity --- I agree with WhatamIdoing, that these are probably separate issues. Re: bug 58405 - I've left a comment at [[User talk:PleaseStand/User info#Gadgetize and Global Gadgetize]] pointing the author/pagewatchers towards that bug, and encouraging someone to both gadgetize the script, and make it work across all WMF wikis. That way we can scale up the usage, and thereafter consider further options such as making it a default-on gadget, or more. Re: this bug - I believe (part of) the original intent is to: A) rethink/standardize/centralize the items in [[MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]] [[mw:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]] [[c:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]] [[d:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]] [[m:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]] [[ur:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]] *etc at all ~900 wikis* (plus the "-anon" variants, eg [[c:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-anon]] ) Because the links at various wikis are frequently * broken/outdated * or missing * or in a confusing order * or in a language we can't read. Someone would need to research the links in the hundreds of Sp-contributions-footer pages, and compile the best ones, whilst noting any instances that are uniquely-local and cannot be merged into a global tool (if any). B) Put all those links on a separately accessible page, rather than having to go through the [[Special:Contributions]] page and scroll to the bottom. A User equivalent to [[mw:Page information]].

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22516 --- Comment #13 from WhatamIdoing --- Are all of these really the same request? Creating a new Special:UserInfo page or a new section on action=info is very different (and IMO very importantly different) from displaying the list of user rights in a corner of the existing User:Example and User_talk:Example pages. I don't want a new page. I don't want something else to click on. I want this information displayed directly on the page that I'm already looking at. I want what you see at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PleaseStand/User_info I do not want what you see at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki-SpecialUserinfo-anon-ip.png These are NOT the same things. -- 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

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22516 MZMcBride changed: What|Removed |Added Keywords||easy CC||bhar...@wikimedia.org --- Comment #10 from MZMcBride --- (In reply to comment #0) > The general idea is to disburden Special:Contributions [...] We could also unburden Special:Preferences, which is currently used as a dashboard that displays (among other things): user ID, user groups, date of account creation, edit count, and some other pieces of info (including some actual settings, the toggles of which should remain in Special:Preferences). I think there's a general push to simplify the user preferences, so this would be a good step in that direction (cc'ing Brandon H., who's also thought about this kind of thing in relation to GlobalProfile). While I can't say the info action is a perfect fit, most of the architecture/infrastructure you need to actually get this bug resolved is in it. It's now live on Wikimedia wikis and in MediaWiki core, it's a reasonable fit, and with maybe an hour or two worth of work, adding an additional section with user info when viewing a page in NS_USER or NS_USER_TALK would be pretty simple. So... unless there's a strong opposition to this path forward, I'm going to go ahead and mark this bug as easy. :-) -- 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

To clarify: you'd get information about any user (through Special:Userinfo/), not just info about your own account. There should not be any privacy issues, because all the information is already publicly available (with exception of an editcounter, however it is possible to find out the amount of edits through Special:Contributions or (on WMF projects) through the toolserver). I don't want to make this an extension because imho not having info distributed over many pages is something basic, that every wiki should have, and not special interest functionality that only few wikis need. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are watching all bug changes. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
