You[1] are making a mistake in assuming that if the enwiki community supports a technical change then, ipso facto, that change should be implemented, irrespective of any 'big picture' considerations. You're[1] not in Kansas any more; the consensus of the enwiki community is not sovereign here. > I'm disappointed someone re-closed the bug, it was not re-opened lightly. It was re-opened mistakenly under a [[WP:BRD]] principle which just doesn't apply here. It is perfectly acceptable to comment, where appropriate, on closed bugs; the status applies only to the bug title, not to the discussion underneath. Tim has said that the status of the request "Set $wgPFEnableStringFunctions=true on WMF wikis" is WONTFIX; that conclusion stands until something (maybe discussion under the closed bug, maybe something else) convinces *him* or *another sysadmin of equal standing* to reconsider it. Someone else changing the status does not somehow reshape the world to make it so. [1] I'm speaking generally, not to anyone specifically. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
