Talk:Requests for comment/Hiding the number of Russian/Belorussian/Kazakh contributors on the statistics map

• The WMF staff is aware of the RfC and is working on a reply. I know that it doesn't solve the problem, but in the meantime here's some data for Russia in 2022 - 23.--Victoria (talk) 01:37, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Signpost coverage

FYI: We briefly covered this RfC in the new issue of the Signpost (the English Wikipedia's community newspaper). Regards, HaeB (talk) 07:17, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Possible Solutions

I am involved in the development of both Wikistats and the country protection list. The privacy team is helping come up with a good long term solution. I was just wondering, in the meantime, what everyone here thinks would work in the short term. One possibility that came to mind was to identify the countries on the list with a special shading/color. On hover, some text could explain that "data from here is restricted". This seems useful regardless of how we change the list or the dataset, and it seems to address a UX problem we've missed until now. Milimetric (WMF) (talk) 18:41, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

This sounds reasonable as a short-term solution. (Russian-speaking admin) Victoria (talk) 09:32, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

This is now done via this change. See linked task T333716 for tracking. Milimetric (WMF) (talk) 22:02, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Title

Should we move this page to Requests for comment/Hiding the number of Russian, Belorussian, and Kazakh contributors on the statistics map as now every slash makes this RfC actually a subpage? A09 (talk) 21:22, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Since there are no upper pages, excluding "RFC" itself, it isn't needed, I think. MBH (talk) 18:18, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
