Because most people would view actually editing the page is more important than metadata making source checking easier. Also it would be nice if you changed your Bz account from showing that your a role account for a business/website to a individual so we know who were actually talking to. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
