Reason
The last person who tried reviving this project left it in February 2020, and there doesn't seem to be others to try. Besides, Danny is now working on global watchlist extension separately. Therefore I suggest crosswatch component be archived. Afaik, it was already removed from translatewiki.
To-do list
- This task
- Add maintainers of that extension/skin 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 crosswatch as a tag for this task, and remove MediaWiki-extensions-Other/Other-skins as appropriate.
- On-wiki documentation
- Update documentation on Meta (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Crosswatch) to state that the tool is defunct.
- Phabricator
- Mark all Phabricator tasks for the project either Declined or Invalid. Add a comment pointing to this task when doing so for reference.
- Archive Phabricator project crosswatch for the project
- Edit Phabricator project crosswatch description for the extension/skin with a link to this ticket.
- Translatewiki.net/translations
- Remove from translatewiki.net
- Configuration/tests/integrations/etc.
- Remove tests in integration/config (zuul/layout.yaml).
- Remove manifest/other references from mediawiki/vagrant if they exist.
- Remove from https://doc.wikimedia.org/cover-extensions/ if present (requires Continuous-Integration-Infrastructure shell user to delete directly from the server).
- Repositories
- Empty repository, leaving only the README indicating the repo is archived, and referring to this task by URL.
- Mark the repository read-only in Gerrit (also edit description to prepend "[ARCHIVED]" and a reference to this task): (provide Gerrit Repository URL).
- Abandon open Gerrit patches: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/q/project:labs%252Ftools%252Fcrosswatch+status:open
- Archive the Diffusion repository: rTCRW
- Delete the GitHub mirror: https://github.com/wikimedia/labs-tools-crosswatch
