Hi,

Yeah, I put in $wgOut->addExtensionStyle() in the code because I was
told, via Code Review, that it was a better alternative to
$wgOut->addLink(). But I (or anyone else) could switch it to
addLink(), which has been around for a much longer time, if
compatibility with older versions is still important. I think
addExtensionStyle() was added around MW 1.14.
