Bug ID: 54737
Summary: Don't release any new VE updates for three months
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: jforres...@wikimedia.org
Reporter: wikif...@gmail.com
CC: jforres...@wikimedia.org, krinklem...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
After the failure of VE (e.g. witness the opt-in at the three largest wikipedia
versions), the WMF now comes with MW 1.22wmf19, which creates more errors than
it solves for VE, as could be predicted by anyone remotely busy with VE. I have
documented some problems I found with minimal testing, there are probably a lot
more. The version doesn't do what the release notes claim (e.g. reflists can't
be moved, not that they often need moving anyway; many templates can't be moved
either), and doesn't solve the major problems that existed with the one thing
that could somewhat be dragged, images.
Multiplying known problems instead of solving them, when there are plenty of
major problems which have turned away most of your user- and testbase, is
simply stupid.
No one is waiting for weekly updates (certainly not of this "quality"). Please,
PLEASE, stop it; get back to the bug list, solve the 50 most urgent ones,
''test them thoroughly yourselves", and then come to us, present the
improvements, and ''ask'' us whether we want to implement and test them.
