--- Comment #4 from MZMcBride <b...@mzmcbride.com> --- (In reply to comment #3) > #wikimedia-dev is not Wikimedia deployment specific development. It is > development of software used by Wikimedia, which all of MediaWiki is > obviously part of at least as long as either MediaWiki is a Wikimedia > Foundation project and Wikipedia.org runs on MediaWiki. Regardless of > whether our staff maintains it or not. This is insane. Are you hearing yourself? >> I'd much prefer #mediawiki-feeds. > > For what reason? Because you don't want to see it in channels that you're in? Because it's the least bad option (other than keeping the bots in #mediawiki). > In that case we move it out of channels not meant for developers only > (#mediawiki) and into #wikimedia-dev where it is reasonable to ask you to use > /ignore if you don't like it. This doesn't make any sense. What's accomplished here? > If you do find them useful, then how are they useful in a separate channel? > You'd have to manually check up there to see for anything.

That's a reason to either keep the bots in #mediawiki or not. Moving them to a separate discussion channel solves nothing. > Besides, what about the channels for operations, visualeditor, parsoid, > mobile. > They all have bots related to their activities, because it makes sense to > have it in the same channel so you're exposed to each others activities and > can jump into things when they come by. Separating it out is > counter-intuitive. What about them? You're the one conflating gerrit-wm and wikibugs and then complaining about the two being conflated. wikibugs is only in #mediawiki and was the subject of its own discussion before you created this bug. gerrit-wm is in multiple channels already and serves a different purpose from wikibugs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
