The official tarball releases are at: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/ For the old versions of skins, you can download from urls like https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-skins-Vector/archive/REL1_24.zip (Replace 1_24 with the version of MediaWiki you are using. So if you are using 1.26

Its probably just as supported now as it always was. The main difference is that when it was in core there was no big warnings that nobody was maintaining it for years. None of the warnings on the page say it doesn't work for 1.30. All they say is that nobody is answering questions about the extens

This is an entirely different type of "page views" tool, and totally unrelated to the page views that the original poster is talking about stats.grok.se and wmflabs "pageviews" tool both are frontends to the same backend system (I believe originally based on squid logs. In modern times I believe i

I'm not too familiar with the code but I don't think it would be too difficult to update HitCounters to run under 1.30. What state the extension is outside of the basic compatibility changes I don't know. I think it was removed from core over general performance and accuracy concerns. I'll try t

I am very much with Lewis on this: Using outdated MW versions poses significant security risks. That said, there is to my knowledge no one download package containing more than one skin. In fact, in the case of Chameleon there is no drop-in download package at all. You need to use Composer for

I am building a proof of concept site, which will at a later stage, if it works the way I intend, be rebuilt from scratch and up. I wanted to use MediaWiki for this project, because of the speed by which it is possible to create a lot of articles in a short amount of time, and it has some cool sta
