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)
