Why is the LocalisationUpdate extension still enabled in WMF production?
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This might be because Scap actually uses part of the code... But I was wondering why when l10nupdate has been disabled on Wikimedia wikis for years now, why the extension is still being actively loaded via wfLoadExtension

We maybe don't need to go as far as no longer branching it etc, but if the code isn't being used, we should probably turn it off...

We're ... pretty sure ... this code isn't used by scap. @dancy to test.

@Reedy scap does not do anything directly related to the LocalisationUpdate extension, so it should be safe to disable.

In case anyone's confused as to what actually happened upon the resolving of this task, that can be seen at T158360#6977526 (the gerritbot comments below what I've linked to).

Thanks for the info @Dcljr.
