The fix is to stop using HTTPS. I know, it sucks, but it's unsupported for a very good reason at the moment, and it'll stop working when our current certificate expires in about two months time.

jack added a comment to T211: Allow stewards to add/remove other stewards.

The steward group was historically created (on ShoutWiki) as a way "to deal w/ rouge admins", to quote what Pinky wrote on GlobalSettings.php many, many moons ago. As such, I'm not sure about this request. Yes, this is a request we hear more often than once a year or so, but I think we can continue dealing with these requests on a case-by-case basis and focus on getting AdminPanel into shape so that admins (etc.) are able to change the wiki's default skin, theme and such stuff without having to contact staff. That seems more beneficial for all parties IMO.

Oh, really? I was under the impression we get CPM as well as CPC bids on our ad units. But then again, what do I know? I'm only the person with the access to the data.

Unless I'm mistaken, ShoutWiki gains revenue from hosting the ads. Individual users blocking them on their personal devices (there are dozens of free content blockers out there) shouldn't affect anything

lewiscawte closed T210: Security risk with EditAccount and LookupUser as Invalid.

Yes, there are security and/or privacy issues. The applicable part here being "privacy issues". Which is why only staff can use these tools to enable us to do our jobs. We take privacy seriously, and these tools are not used unless it is necessary. LookupUser was originally written by one of the key MediaWiki developers, who is currently employed by the Wikimedia Foundation, so will have been written with security and privacy concerns in mind.

There's a reason a number of extensions in the repository are unused. For Configure it's a case of "works okay for one wiki, not 8800+."
