 | This page is obsolete. It is being retained for archival purposes. It may document extensions or features that are obsolete and/or no longer supported. Do not rely on the information here being up-to-date. MediaWiki used the Subversion version control system, but has since migrated MediaWiki core and nearly all extensions to Git. |
Deleting extensions
[edit]These are the sort of defacto standards for deleting extensions from SVN trunk.[1]
- Add a
OBSOLETEfile to the ext directory.- Example Message: "As of MediaWiki 1.17.0 this extension is obsolete lack of maintenance. It will be deleted from subversion on the 1.17.0 release."[2]
- Update on wiki extension documentation pages.
- Tag the pages with: {{Unmaintained extension}} and removing {{WikimediaDownload}}[3]
- Make sure extension exists in the current branch release
(/branches/REL<X>_<YY>/extensions/<NAME>/)along with the obsolete notice[2] - Delete from trunk after the next branch point.
