This is confusing. There are two different things could be meant by this paragraph
- If you save your name and password in your browser it is saved until it is deleted
- When you log in you have a check box which will save your login for "up to 180 days"
30 days doesn't enter into it, though 180 days is wildly optimistic (I have had to log in thirce today alone).

- Thanks, Rich. I've added a note explaining that the information is out of date. --Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 20:22, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Logging of account creation
What's the justification for placing every account creation (including username, which might be personally identifiable) in publicly available logs? Should users not at least be warned that this is going to happen when creating an account? Victor Yus (talk) 16:16, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
Use of CDN sites for script delivery
The use of CDN sites for script delivery (I.e. jQuery from Google CDN, yes, I know it is available on WMF projects, but this concerns use from toolserver.org!) is not explicitly forbidden. This should be clarified. Ok, not ok? --Dschwen (talk) 19:41, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
