[Licom-l] bug?

Wed Apr 15 05:18:53 UTC 2009

Ok, it appears that this individual went into the general landing page of the secured wikimedia (not the specific secured projects). But I want someone to double check to make sure we don't mix this. Nevertheless, my concern about CentralNotice announcement rotation stands.

I'm still afraid that since CentralNotice rotates the announcements between Wikimania scholarship and this poll, if people happen to get the Wikimania scholarship announcement again, they will hide it once again and miss the other important announcement.

And I believe there is another bug discovered and posted on Meta's bug talk page. Using secure.wikimedia.org will give you a "This wiki does not exist" message.
