TranslateSvg is no longer maintained and doesn't work with the current version of Mediawiki.
This extension has dependencies on classes from other actively maintained extensions (such as Translate). Consequently, maintenance work on other extensions demands some engineering time is spent on TranslateSvg, which is not productive.
This extension should be sunset. There is an existing standalone and active replacement, SVG Translate.
Reason
See above
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 MediaWiki-extensions-TranslateSvg as a tag for this task, and remove MediaWiki-extensions-Other/Other-skins as appropriate.
- On-wiki documentation
- Archive documentation on mediawiki.org (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TranslateSvg): replace page contents with {{Archived extension|last revision id before archiving|task=T331817}}.
- 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 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q21678913) 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
