The extension is essentially a fancy form that assembles the responses into a standard wiki page with invisible <!-- T:123 --> comments scattered about. So if we were to uninstall the extension, any page that had adopted the extension would remain with exactly the same content. <br></div><div>What isn't as easily reversible is that there would probably be more translations than before -- of more content in more languages.<br></div></blockquote><div dir="auto">Note that process of enabling this extension involves deletion of existing pages<br></div><div dir="auto">in languages other than English.<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">So removing extension would require reconstructing translation pages.<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>A reversible change of this nature should not require a 75% supermajority. After all, the threshold for *permanently changing the constitution* in many regions is a mere 60-66%. The tagging proposal threshold is so high because it's so hard to clean up an approved tag that later turns out to be a bad idea. Would we demand the same high bar for any technical change to the wiki, or just the ones that trouble certain people at the start of voting?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Regardless, I did not express a preference for a new threshold of 50%. It isn't my call. I just wanted to know if the proposer planned to stick to the 75% precedent they set, or if they would fall back to the "community consensus or at least a majority decision" that another administrator had originally asked for, or something in between.<br></div></blockquote><div dir="auto">I want to just note that removal of extension should require the same support<br></div><div dir="auto">as introducing it, especially if it is lowered compared to a typical vote.<br></div> </body>
