Description

Reason:
This extension has been unmaintained since 2009, and has not worked since MediaWiki 1.23.

Note that there is an unrelated CustomSidebar extension used on a handful of wikis with a version number of 1.12+.

To-do list

  • This task
    • Add maintainers of that extension as subscribers to this task (if they have no apparent Phabricator account, notify them on-wiki or via email if possible and note it here).
    • Add Phabricator project as a tag for this task, or MediaWiki-extensions-Other if there is no project.
  • On-wiki documentation
    • Archive documentation on mediawiki.org (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CustomSidebar): replace page contents with {{Archived extension|last revision id before archiving|reason=archive reasons, per [[phab:T199712]]}}.
    • If documentation page was translatable, remove <translate>, visit Special:PageTranslation, and click "remove from translation" (if you don't have the translation administrator right, ask a user who does).
    • Update Wikidata item associated with documentation page
      • add statement Abandonware (Q281039) to instance of (P31) together with qualifier start time (P580) = the YYYY-MM-DD (date that you decided to archive extension generally per edit history)
      • add qualifier end time (P582) = the YYYY-MM-DD (same date as above) to instance of (P31) = MediaWiki extension (Q6805426)
  • Phabricator
    • Archive Phabricator project for the extension.
    • Mark all Phabricator tasks for the extension either Declined or Invalid.
    • Edit Phabricator project description for the extension with a link to this ticket.
  • Translatewiki.net/translations
    • Remove from translatewiki.net (groups/MediaWiki/mediawiki-extensions.txt) (add translatewiki.net project as a tag for this task).
  • Configuration/tests/integrations/etc.
  • Repositories

It seems the code is hosted external and the gerrit repo is never used, because it is still empty.

Umherirrender added a comment.Aug 7 2018, 5:05 PM

The repo was not requested by the main author, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/New_repositories/Requests/Archive/2018

Maybe the git repo is still needed to create a 1.27 version?

Dinoguy1000 added a comment.Aug 8 2018, 9:33 AM

If I'm reading that page correctly, it was requested by a pmiguelpirzer, however I can't find a Mediawiki.org or Phabricator account likely to be that person? If anyone knows who this is, they should probably be notified of this issue. (Also if anyone can get in touch with Frantik, the extension's original developer, though it doesn't look/sound like that's very promising...)

There are git and gerrit accounts. I've sent them an email.

Most of this was trivially done, as there were no open tasks, no internationalization, and no translations. There even only way a repo because it was created a year ago without referencing it anywhere.
