"a [...] over-engineered feature that is utterly crap"
I'm not usually trying to police this kind of thing, but is there a way you could have phrased this without discrediting the work of a lot of people whose goal is to help others? I'm sure you'd get both a little bit hurt inside and defensive when someone in your team calls your code "utterly crap."
That said, I'm very sure they will be happy to hear about your feedback.
- neuromantik8086 9y agoIf the Wikimedia Foundation's goal was to help people, their time and money would be much better spent hiring professional / full-time editors to QC their content. Features like this hovering preview are peripheral to their goal of providing quality content that can also be updated by the general public
