If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and find this site useful documentation of the MediaWiki software. Thanks, and regards, --MZMcBride (talk) 02:15, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

New features not accounting for important older features
I thought you might be amused by 63572 and the related issue. Perhaps we should start a list of every new feature that doesn't account for revision suppression or CheckUser or whatever else. ;-)

The talking point here is that developers need to use and rely on public APIs for sanity checks like this. --MZMcBride (talk) 02:37, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * See now, if I'd had a DIFF of the change to my talk page, I would have immediately been brought to this wiki instead of assuming that it was an enwiki message. And yeah. A long time ago, there was a promise from the developers that NO new feature would go live until we sorted out the oversight/suppression issue.  That's not really happening, either.
