Change Details

= Intro = ShortUrl (not to be confused with UrlShortener, the recently deployed feature) is an extension that helps create shortened URLs for wiki pages, using their base36 encoded IDs. Adds a 'Short URL' link to the Toolbox. Primarily developed for use in the Indic Language Wikipedias (while deployed on wikis like eswikibooks as well) = Issues = == It doesn't have any maintainer== Yuvi originally wrote this and since he left, there's no active maintainer. == It writes on master on page view in deployed Wikis == {T122708} This is a problem for active/active == Having two extensions doing the same thing is confusing and redundant == It won't be long until bugs would be made against wrong extension or people look at the wrong documentation. = Rubric = * Current maintainer None. * Number, severity and age of known and confirmed security issues None. * Was it a cause of production outages or incidents. List them None * Does it have sufficient hardware resources for now and the near future (to take into account expected usage growth)? It depends on which communities want this, if a large wiki wants it, probably not * Is it a frequent cause of monitoring alerts that need action, and are they addressed timely and appropriately? Yes, {T122708} is an issue for active/active * When it was first deployed to Wikimedia production Based on {T3450} it was 2012 (probably it was a rainy day) * Usage statistics based on audiences served * Changes commited in the last 1, 3, 6 and 12 months (Based on [[https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-ShortUrl/commits/master|github]]) Last month: 1 Last three months: 6 Last 6 months: 8 Last year: 23 (All small fixes, library upgrade, removing obselete parts) * Reliance on outdated platforms (e.g. operating systems) None * Number of developers who committed code in the last 1, 3, 6, and 12 months (Based on [[https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-ShortUrl/commits/master|github]]) Last month: 1 Last three months: 2 Last 6 months: 2 Last year: 5 * Number and age of open patches [[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/ShortUrl/+/74649|One patch]], open for five and half years now * Number and age of open bugs 11 open bugs. * Number of known dependencies * Is there a replacement/alternative for the feature? Is there plan for replacement Extension:UrlShortener which provides the same functionality is deployed and usable now. There is no migration plan so far and would be tricky due to differences on the backend * Submitter's recommendation (what do you propose be done?) Phase out this extension in favor of the cool new feature.
