Everything below only refering to enter_bug.cgi, not show_bug.cgi: After clicking "Hide Advanced fields" in the upper left corner on https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi , the "Assignee" field is not shown anymore on the "Report a bug" page. By default, the advanced fields are hidden on enter_bug.cgi: http://bzr.mozilla.org/bugzilla/trunk/view/head:/template/en/default/bug/create/create.html.tmpl#L142 If we wanted, we could probably hide more fields (OS, Hardware, ...) by wrapping the corresponding <tr>s in <tbody class="expert_fields">. andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
