Since this extension isn't deployed anywhere it will need review.

-shell, not in a position to deploy at this moment in time

There are a number of different calendar extensions listed at [[mw:Extension:Calendar]] and none of those appear to be in SVN. Which of the Calendar extensions are you talking about?

It seems the interest is in this one: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Calendar_(Kenyu73)

I'll try to get the stakeholders to comment here themselves...

Asaf, can you confirm that it's the https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Calendar_%28Kenyu73%29 calendar? Thanks.

Yes, that's the one. Thanks.

Emailed extension maintainer to ask them about this.

I see that this extension is now not maintained: https://code.google.com/p/mw-calendar/

The replacement is: https://code.google.com/p/mwcalendar/ which is in beta. Asaf, would the stakeholders prefer a different calendar now, or would they want to work with the developer to get the new extension out of beta?

Asaf: Could you answer comment 7 please?

Note that in the meantime, one Calendar extension was deployed for use by Wikivoyage (see bug 41111 comment 8).

I really don't know. I only volunteered to file the ticket, thinking it was a quick "turn this on" request. Since it isn't, the stakeholders will need to put in the time to get this resolved. I have just sent a note on the cultural-partners list to that effect. If no one shows up in a few days, this can be assumed to no longer be wanted.

FYI, Mike Peel enabled some microformat on [[m:IRC office hours]] to make it convertable in standard calendar format and [[mw:Template:Event]] has just been revamped. I hope some experience can be recycled.

Re the microformats route, see
