Open letter to the WMF

Hi Karolin,

We have posted an open letter to the Foundation and Board of Trustees. It concerns the development of MediaWiki extensions and needs the personal attention of all concerned developers and managers. Please see it at:

Help:Diff

@KSiebert (WMF): Is Community Tech/Documentation/Drafts/Help:Diff still a draft or you have prepared a better version of it? I'm just asking because it is up for translation? If you are sure this should be marked for translation, please let me know. ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 15:49, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

• We are still working on this one actually, as we adjust it while we prepare for the work and narrow down specifications. Thanks for paying attention to it, can let you know when it's ready to be moved to Mediawiki.org where it actually lives. KSiebert (WMF) (talk) 17:15, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Phabricator tag removal

Hi, can you please explain why you removed the Community Tech tag from T324107? As I said there, every single task for Phonos is automatically tagged with the CommTech tag, so it's inexplicable that you removed it from that task only. Are you sure you didn't mistake it for a sprint tag or something? Your silence has been puzzling and I'd appreciate if you could have a comment. Thank you. Nardog (talk) 02:28, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello Nardog,

sorry, for the delayed reply, removing the Community Tech Tag tag from tickets is a common practise we use to during our triage sessions, when we are sorting work to be worked on by the team in the nearer future. I want to highlight that removing the Community Tech Tag does not mean that we do not appreciate the feature request and that it won't be implemented, it only means that it hasn't made it into our current work boards.

All the best,
