I'm confused. Why would we use ajax (or js whatsoever) to put lastmodified text on to a page. Its not like such text is dynamic, so caching shouldn't really be a concern [unless we wanted to change the timestamp magically before the page even reloads, which I somewhat doubt]. Not to mention there already is a timestamp in the lower left corner of every page... Bawolff (talk) 18:35, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh wait, was it the clicktracking that caused the overload, that would make more sense. Bawolff (talk) 18:42, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it was a simple logic error in clicktracking that measured far too many impressions. A patch has been submitted, and it won't be deployed until that's been merged in and thoroughly tested. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 18:46, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • And my confusion is about the non-Wikimedia wikis in the headline. Where are they discussed? Jim.henderson (talk) 18:53, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oh, my bad, we decided late in the day to keep that (developing) story over for next week. I'll change the headline here, but it'll already have gone out on the mailing list. - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 19:31, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone please modify the story to link the contribs of an IPv6 anonymous user? I think this would be really interesting to see and drive the point home. Dcoetzee 19:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is already a link, last time I checked.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:10, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I added one after Dcoetzee posted but forgot to respond here, just to clarify. - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 09:48, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Something's wrong with this week's pie chart summarizing last week's poll result. Light blue and yellow both show 22% but the description says 3 voters and 7 voters respectively. And red says 16% on the pie but got more response (9) than light blue or yellow. Please recheck the numbers. OhanaUnitedTalk page 18:18, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, good spot. The numbers were correct, but the pie chart not. We'll run the same chart next week with a published correction, I think. - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 20:51, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
