Description Sam Ballard 2013-12-04 16:26:47 UTC 
Hey there, 

I'm on the design team for the Wikimania 2014 wiki (https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org) and require an edit in the php to make the sidebar hidden from anonymous browsers. The instructions for which can be found here;

Thanks very much
Sam

Sorry, I think this is a wontfix. The maintenance burden/overhead of an additional MediaWiki extension is not nearly matched by the functionality provided.

Plus that extension in particular would take more work to get into shape for deployment to a Wikimedia wiki than it would take to simply rewrite.

And, broadly, implementing this feature request (no sidebar for anons, sidebar for logged-in users) in an extension is probably the wrong approach: you can do this with site-wide CSS or JavaScript. If you need help, you can post to [[m:tech]].

This bug prompted bug 47812 to be fixed. I'm grateful for that.
