Thread:Talk:Article feedback/31 May 2011/reply (10)

The community > The foundation.

The position of the foundation regarding the importance of the AFT is not very important to be honest.

I understand that you, as an WMF'er, think it is or wish it was; but it isn't. Sorry.

We, the community, are Wikipedia. If the WMF completely disappears tomorrow we will start a new foundation if we decide we want to have one. If the community disappears then Wikipedia is dead.

My advice to the supporters of the AFT is simple:
 * Never ask for feedback if you are going to ignore it anyway
 * Think about whether the community or the WMF should make this decision
 * Respond to the feedback, start an honest discussion, make compromises (Move the AFT outside div#content et cetera)

Its the 4th of July. You still have a chance to respond to the feedback before the deadline.
