Deactivated all Beta features

Today I deactivated all Beta features. First: the talk-pages are only in English. I don't know whether I could only post feedback in English or in other languages and I know, many people don't give feedback at all because of this. Second: I will not test any software from the WMF, until the Foundation keeps the superprotect right, which is a thread to all communities.

I agree, why no seperate talking pages in each language? Looks like wikipedia becomes more like facebook. Can we please stop this?

Lexikon-Duff: People are welcome to post in any language they desire. There are usually people around who will provide a translation into another language. It is very simple, people who need to READ this, mostly share one common language and that is English. So a feedback page in swahili is useless, because no one would do anything with that feedback.

@TheDJ "It is very simple..." just create seperate talking pages for each wiki. Greets

Lexikon-Duff: And what will that achieve ? who is going to read it or even visit all those pages ? There would be too many to keep track off.

Don-kun (talkcontribs)

It would be even simplier: give the feedback-pages an intro in the most common languages, that says everyone can write in the language they prefer. Maybe also track from where the users come from and set a suitable language at the top of the intro. (but not remove the other! the best guess may not be the right one!)
