So one of the things I did while the wiki was down was to participate in Wikipedia's bureaucracy, regarding the implementation of Media Viewer as a default. Among other things, I advocated that a member of the Wikimedia Foundation technical staff lose his sysop privileges on English Wikipedia for inventing new categories of reasons to ignore the community, as well as making a basic argument that WFM and enWikipedia are separate entities. I argued that ArbCom has more jurisdiction in this case than the foundation, because its powers are derived from the people. I also filed 3 bugs on Media Viewer, which took me all of 5 minutes to find.
Anyway, Media Viewer is certainly "interesting", but really of minor use to use because we only tend to display 1 image per page. If you have any ideas on changing that rule, I'd like to hear them. Also, I don't object to MV as an option, it's just a bit touchy to me now.
Incidentally the smoldering wreckage is Visual Editor, which was the major feature that the wikipedia community rejected last month.
