I've gone ahead and removed them from extensions in r48889 and removed support from them in r48890. Developers should instead use version numbers that make sense. We've had the 'version' parameter in $wgExtensionCredits since pretty much forever, use that instead. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
