While this extension is fairly harmless and is too small to cause any tangible technical debt, it's an example and we don't really need it anywhere - even on testwiki. Besides, it does something opposite of what wikis have been doing for the last 10 years.

I removed {{TNT|OnWikimedia}} from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UnicodeConverter . status on that page says stable. Should that be unmaintained or page content changed to {{Archived extension|2855751|reason=See [[phab:T195941]]}}?
I don't see any reason to archive it. It's an example extension. It could use a bit of cleanup though to meet modern standards.
Sounds pretty similar to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Example and T156568: Review and update the Examples extension instead.
