[13:36:50] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> There's a very, very old feature: When a page is deleted, some of its content is added to a log line, using the "excontent" message. The code is in ContentHandler.php.
[13:37:18] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> Added by Erik in 2003! https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rMW8d13af81b7b87f95399dec327a18ba2006e08a85
[13:38:26] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> Is there perhaps a way to make this thing optional, for example behind a configuration variable? I can't see such an option in the code, but maybe I'm missing it.
[13:38:34] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> Someone asked me about it on the Hebrew Wikipedia.
[13:39:00] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> I also think that it's not too useful.
[13:39:17] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> on the Bokmål Wikipedia, we have just blanked it (well, replaced it with a hyphen): [[no:MediaWiki:Excontent]]
[13:39:29] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> LOL :)
[13:39:42] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> I guess that's also a way to do it. I wonder how many other wikis did it.
[13:39:59] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> English Wikipedia too, at least :)
[13:41:11] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> and German, and Spanish, and Italian
[13:41:12] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> Curious, I somehow haven't noticed it, even though I delete page in English every now and then!
[13:41:21] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> Hmmm hmmm hmmm. (re @jhsoby: and German, and Spanish, and Italian)
[13:42:00] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> Was it discussed anywhere?
[13:43:02] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> dunno about those other languages, but in Norwegian it was discussed before it was implemented. The main argument (IIRC, this was years and years and years ago) is to avoid potential slander/personal information/sensitive stuff in the deletion log (which is also shown when you visit a page that has been deleted)
[13:43:15] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> Makes sense to me.
[13:44:19] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> OK, I guess I'm reporting a task to make this optional behind a variable (or perhaps remove it completely?..). Really not high priority, but better to document it, I guess.
[13:45:15] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> I remember that SPQRobin made a tool once to show how a certain message in the MediaWiki space customized across many wikis. Is it still live? Does anyone know URL?

[18:22:13] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <MagoTech> Hello everyone,
[18:22:13] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <MagoTech> Hoping everyone is doing great. 
[18:22:15] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <MagoTech> Is there anyone here responsible for the Wikiquotes english version?
[18:23:31] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> No one is "responsible" for the Wikiquotes english version :)
[18:23:41] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> There's no "editor in chief" :)
[18:24:29] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> If you have general questions about it, a better Telegram group is probably https://t.me/WikimediaGeneral . This group here is for very technical discussion about the software of Wikipedia.
[18:29:52] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <MagoTech> Thank you (re @amire80: No one is "responsible" for the Wikiquotes english version :))
