- patch needed for all versions
- {{Extension by patch warning}}
| This extension requires patches to core MediaWiki code. Extensions implemented using patches may be disabled by or interfere with upgrades and security patches. If a suitable alternative without a patch is available, we recommend you use that extension instead. |
- patch needed for versions before 1.39
- {{Extension by patch warning|version=1.39}}

Extensions implemented using patches may be disabled by or interfere with upgrades and security patches.

Alternatively, if a suitable alternative without a patch is available, we recommend you use that extension instead. |
