Following a community poll organized by the Foundation, and extensive discussion in various venues, it has become clear that this issue can be highly divisive and distracting to the Wikimedia community.

We affirm our support for better user choice and user preferences, but do not want to prescribe a specific mechanism for offering that choice. Therefore, we rescind the request to develop this feature. The remainder of the May 2011 resolution remains in effect. |
