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 <#ProjectX> 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:Contributors): replace page contents with {{Archived extension|last revision id before archiving|task=T######}})
- 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/Q21676707) 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/skin (generally per edit history)
