social media links
Hey Mono,
I reverted your edits to the donation thank you page. We'd prefer if you contacted someone on the team before changing pages so drastically in the future :)

- Hi.
- Thank you for updating your note here to not include anything about a possible privacy policy violation. I looked at the code for Template:Social accounts and it's fine.
- I wouldn't call Mono's changes drastic. He just replaced the social media icons. That whole page is a bit ugly and could use a refresh (unless it's meant to fit inside of some pretty wrapper somewhere...). The view that anyone should be getting prior approval before updating pages is a bit anti-wiki, eh? There can be a healthy BRD cycle here without much issue, I think.
- We've now entered the "D" (discussion) stage. So it'd be helpful if you could explain why you didn't like Mono's change (besides the lack of consultation). That way, the changes can be reimplemented appropriately. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:37, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi MZ,
- The page in question is a live fundraising page that thousands of our donors see in any given hour. The edits Mono made changed the functionality of the links (from a Facebook 'share' to a Facebook 'like') and also changed the look of the page quite a bit. AFAIK, live fundraising pages are not open for normal editing. Each of these pages has a corresponding talk page which I'd invite you to use, or you can leave a note on my talk page. Most of the fundraising team also hangs out in #wikimedia-fundraising on IRC and would be happy to discuss changes with you there as well :)
- Thanks,
