We could send them to something like https://whatbrowser.org/ or
https://browsehappy.com/
Motivating users to update their outdated browsers would definitely be a
good idea.

Tell people to update very old browser, sure. Advertise a specific one, 
no no.

I noticed a banner on the mobile site that renders the site unusable:

I'm not sure who is responsible for "Freedom of Panorama in Europe in
2015" but can someone disable this on mobile asap or make it work on
mobile?

Please also reach out to us on the mobile-l mailing list ahead of
running these campaigns if you are unsure how to test campaigns, we're
happy to help.

Re: [Wikitech-l] I'm leaving the Wikimedia Foundation

[Katie Chan]

It was a privilege to have meet you at Wikimedia events and you will be
missed

"And I'd like to [...] exclude destructive communication from my life
(yes, there's some amount of burnout on toxic people and entitlement)."

Sad to read this, but so so understandable unfortunately.

Everyone,

I have a few announcements (apologies for the delay as this was posted to
an internal WMF staff mailing list a few weeks ago).

First, I'd like to announce Oliver's transition to Product Analyst
(contractor, full time).  As many of you know, Oliver has been working with
us for the past ~2 years as a Community Liaison.  As Community Liaison, he
has helped provide the critical link between the English Wikipedia editing
community and WMF product teams on Page Curation, Echo, AFT, and
VisualEditor.  Effective immediately, Oliver will be transitioning to the
newly created role of Product Analyst.  In this role, Oliver will support
the Flow team in mapping out the myriad of complex workflows, templates,
bots, and other craziness that happens on talk pages, and also providing
analytical support to help the Flow team prioritize features. [*]



So a staff member that gets blocked on wiki (By Arbcom no less) is
basically getting getting a promotion, Where as volunteers that get blocked
and have access to some of our other services such as OTRS get their
permissions revoked.

WONDERFUL!


*sigh*

If you're going to troll, why let facts get in the way

-

On the other note, congratulation Oliver, Dan and Nick!!! :)

I noticed you're not tracking the dates for affiliation? People change jobs or

That. As someone who works for a chapter, according to instructions I 
have to declare my affiliation to said chapter. However, my 
contributions pre-date my employment AND even in the future, would be 
done strictly in a volunteer capacity as completely unrelated to what 
I'm employed for.

Re: [Wikitech-l] What can be done with a watchlist too big to edit?

I do a lot of work on Commons, while using a setting that all pages I edit go 
to my watchlist. In the past I was able to control the size of my watchlist by 
occasionally purging it by editing raw watchlist. However when Cat-a-lot gadget 
become available I initially did not configure it properly and all files I edit 
with it also ended up on my watchlist. Pretty soon my watchlist become too big 
to edit. I am now at 36k pages and I definitely need to purge it.

What can be done about it? I asked few people and asked on some talk forums but 
nobody knew the answer. I would be OK with deleting everything.


This came up on en.wp recently 
. 
A bugzilla request was filed to have the watchlist deleted.

Confirmed, I get the same body you pasted. Headers are below.


Works over here. May have been fixed between your email and now.
