[edit] MediaZilla

Surely MediaWiki's bug site isn't notable. It is worth noting its Alexa rank (558) is shared by Wikimedia Commons, Wikimedia Meta-Wiki and Wikispecies Computerjoe's talk 19:00, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, MediaWikicruft. This is a part of infrastructure that everyone interested can find out about on their own. We don't have article for "The lucky shoes Jimbo wears in TV interviews". In TV interviews, people are listening to Jimbo and not looking at his shoes, you know. At best, this is worth an external link on MediaWiki article; perhaps, if we're getting really carried away with interesting trivia, a mention like "MediaWiki developers use Bugzilla to track bugs" in that article would be sufficient. (And while I have absolutely nothing against AYBABTU, I don't mind if MediaZilla motto is changed to "The lucky shoes Jimbo wears in TV interviews".=) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 14:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete self-referential, unnecessary, and only linked to from the AfD and a template talk page. --Roninbk _{t c #} 23:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

  Please could you explain the relevance to this deletion debate? Computerjoe's talk 16:46, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

  Because edit conflicts show how popular and controversial this AfD debate is. Whoever closes this debate eventually will have considerable trouble following all these complex developments, turns of phrases, and ignoring the thinly veiled sarcasm that is completely inappropriate in AfDs. =) "And in the next article in WikiTruth/WikipediaReview collaboration series, the AfD debate that shall forever live in infamy..." =) (Sorry, a long day.) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 22:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Although even saying "mediawikicruft" is sacrilege, Bugzilla makes you have to create a username to actually see anything which has always annoyed me a lot. The forced logging in to read reduces notability. Anomo 16:49, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

  But that is irrelevant. This debate is purely about where MediaZilla is notable enough to warrent a Wikipedia article. Computerjoe's talk 17:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per above. --Gray Porpoise 23:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • ...or redirect to either Wikimedia Foundation, Bugzilla, or MediaWiki. --Gray Porpoise 10:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Week Keep or possible merge with BugZilla Changed vote to keep because recently (last 12 hours I'm guessing) someone turned on the ability for people not logged in to view the bug reports. If it stays that way it should be good. A website that's a gated community to view it gets bad google rank simply. Anomo 13:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Move to Wikipedia: namespace. This site is not notable for the main namespace, as no non-trivial publication about it exist, however it can be of some use as a help page. MaxSem 07:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Changed to delete per below. MaxSem 14:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Bugzilla already exists. --Gray Porpoise 10:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Bugzilla also exists as an article. Wikipedia:MediaZilla with our without the strange capitalization redirects to Wikipedia:Bugzilla. Anomo 11:39, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
