Interesting, but I would prefer some sort of indication that people have found this useful before I waste server resources saving a new revision every time I log in or out. r3m0t talk 10:29, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

I think the effect on servers would be negligible, though WP:RC might be a mess without the edits being marked as minor. Mark 22:51, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

One of the reasons for having the "I'm around" indicator was so that users did not have to constantly change between "I'm in" and "I'm out." I doubt the system would ever gain enough users to actually cause a problem with the servers, but we could certainly ask the developers. -- Essjay · Talk 00:09, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

I find this a hugely inconvenient way of doing things, since it involves doing the new edit every time you log in and out. Would it be possible to develop a tool that could automatically detect whether you're logged in, and/or the time when your last edit was made? - ulayiti (talk) 17:20, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
