This is not really about Selena's email but it's so nerdy I still want to
talk about what tech debt is and what it isn't.
The word tech debt at the beginning meant a very specific thing: When an
engineer takes a shortcut to deliver a feature faster. Daniel has a pretty
good essay on tech debt:
Hi,

This seems kind of at odds what is written on wiki. To quote the opening
paragraph of
Perhaps i am hyperfocused on technical debt in the sense of improving the
abstractions used in mediawiki. The phrasing around sustainability
especially leads me in that direction. However, technical debt is certainly
a broad concept and can mean a lot of things.

Hi Hogü-456,
I just wanted to jump in with a link to

updated to list out the Wikimedia Foundation product teams, highlight their
areas of work, and link to venues where you can have input on those
projects. We're
Hm okay, thank you all!

Hi Kunal,
Thank you for the feedback. To address your question about the relationship
between this work and the Movement Strategy recommendation to establish a
Technology Council, I will say that I do not believe they are addressing
the same set of needs, but I can see how the work of each body
There is unfortunately no way to do this. The feature request was

Hello Selena,
from my point of view it is important to build trust between the Wikimedia
Foundation and the community. It is great that you mentioned in your email that

I tried it with .bodyContent and .mw-parser-output
Please see css:

Please see page: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Doc_Taxon/TestA (there

That would be `mw-parser-output` or possibly `mw-parser-output` or
`bodyContent` depending on how you define the body. However, the styles
added by TemplateStyles are scoped to `mw-parser-output`, as explained in
