It's also unacceptable that links to the meiawiki itself are not whitelisted from abusefilter-linkspam guards.

That's because the page is using the {{/releases}} wikitext transclusion construction, which doesn't respect page versioning. The equivalent version of the transcluded page would be this one.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you're saying?

That to me is a horrible documentation practice. Is this subpage/transclusion now a 'thing' with MW extensions? Thanks for finding the equivalent for me!

That's a complaint I should direct toward mediawiki.org. Nevermind. I tried to post the comment anonymously, which failed due to the inclusion of the link.
One more additional point: somewhere in the /installation documentation, it should be noted that 'rebuildLocalisation' should be run in the case of static lang-cache installations. Otherwise, the babel keyword won't be found and you'll get a horrible exception.

Yeah, it's a mess, I agree. I don't think it's a common practice, no. This page is very unusual, as it's about a bundle of extension released as a tarball together rather than the normal individual manner.

Oh, right. Sorry about that!

Oh. In my innocence, I had assumed that anything like that would be run by update.php; that certainly sounds like it should be added, yes.
