"Changed visibility of the article feedback tool" entry in public log
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

My contribution page and my logs have a record of an unknown action that violates my privacy, and which I have no idea what cause its' appearance.

it says: "08:25, 8 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (0)‎ . . m Undershirt ‎ (Changed visibility of the article feedback tool on "Undershirt" ([Visibility=Enable for all users] (indefinite)))" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Neukoln

or
"08:25, 8 November 2013 Neukoln (talk | contribs) changed visibility of the article feedback tool on "Undershirt" ‎[articlefeedbackv5=aft-reader] (indefinite) (hist)"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/Neukoln

The history page of the article shows the same record (no difference between the versions).
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Undershirt&diff=580725865&oldid=570514515

I did not edit the article. I can't recall whether I answered some feedback question or not, but even if I did there shouldn't be any record of it. This is a MAJOR violation of my privacy. As long as I avoid editing the article or writing in the talk page NO ONE suppose to know what I read.

It's unclear to me what triggers this action. Hopefully a developer can elaborate here.

Matthias?

Just figured out what happened: While navigating threw the sidebar I must have accidentally clicked a link called "Enable feedback". Wasn't even aware of that feature.

I believe putting it in a '''navigation''' bar with drop down menus is the worst possible location for it. Either you add some form to approve the action before it takes effect, or you can move it to a more reasonable location at the dropdown menu aside other options that effects the article (move, add to watchlist etc.)

All development work on AbuseFilter v.5 (and indeed, previous versions) is halted. The project is archived, so having open tasks is inappropriate. Consequently, I'm closing all tasks.
