TASK DESCRIPTION I propose to give up 1.27-1.30 MediaWiki support with **Pywikibot 10** which perhaps comes at the beginning of 2025. MW 1.27 is a LTS published 2016 but the life cycle <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle> ended in 2020 already. MW 1.28-1.30 had reached their life time in 2018-2020 too. Anyway it is strictly recommeded to use MW1.38+ for production systems and per T259771 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259771> upgrades can be made from two LTS releases only. Advantages ---------- The following modules can be simplified if dropping old code (1) <https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/pywikibot/?q=1%5C.%282%5Cd%7C30%29&files=&excludeFiles=&repos=>: - maxarticlesize is available from siteinfo - sparql_endpoint and concept_base_uri used by SparqlQuery can always be used - protection_levels can always be found via APISite or via siteinfo as restrictions levels - messagecode is defined during login - no error bounds are required for WbQuantity MW support ---------- Older MW versions are still supported by older Pywikibot releases found by its tags: | MW release | Latest pwb release | | ---------- | ------------------ | | **1.14** | Pywikibot 4.3 | | **1.19** | Pywikibot 5.6 | | **1.23** | Pywikibot 7.7.3 | | **1.27** | Pywikibot 9.5/9.6 | | See also: --------- - Compatibility Table <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Compatibility_Table> - T268979 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268979> - T306637 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T306637> TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378984 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Xqt Cc: Aklapper, pywikibot-bugs-list, Xqt, mevo, PotsdamLamb, Jyoo1011, JohnsonLee01, SHEKH, Dijkstra, Khutuck, Zkhalido, Aram, Viztor, Wenyi, Tbscho, MayS, Mdupont, JJMC89, Dvorapa, Altostratus, Avicennasis, mys_721tx, jayvdb, Masti, Alchimista
