Iniquity renamed this task from Create project tag for <INSERT HERE> to Create project tag for PlaceNewSection extension.Nov 22 2023, 1:53 AM

Just checking if this has been discussed with the extension developer/maintainer, especially since they already have GitHub issues turned on which could lead to fractured discussions?

Aklapper changed the task status from Open to Stalled.Nov 22 2023, 9:26 AM

I would like to create this tag as part of the work on this task T344501; we can wait until @Ernstkm transfers repository to Gerrit.

I'd rather wait until @Ernstkm states in which one single place they'd like to manage their codebase and their tickets.

Hi, all. Thanks for your patience.

I seem to have become the de facto maintainer of this extension by posting a comment to the Talk: page about updating it to work with 1.35.x. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep pace with newer MediaWiki versions, as I tend to stick with LTS releases for as long as possible for my internal wikis. Hopefully that's not a problem.

That said, I'm amenable to doing whatever is necessary to ensure the health and longevity of this extension. If that means moving it from GitHub to WMF code hosting, that sounds fine to me. Is GitLab an option?

Hello! :) Look here: T344501#9351195.

Assigning to @Ernstkm per last comment; please reset assignee once done

@Aklapper I'd like to update the README at GitHub to mention the source code's new home before archiving it.

Is https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/PlaceNewSection a good point-of-entry for that, roughly analogous to the GitHub project page?

I'm not very familiar with Gerrit, having "grown up" with the GitHub interface so to speak, during my early training, so thanks for your patience.

I'd say so - at least I don't have a better idea :P
