Current state: MediaWiki comes with a set of extensions, we add a set of extension.
Context: MediaWiki adds extensions by default, the set changes with releases.
Acceptance Criteria: Review all extensions we add, remove those that come with MediaWiki by default already.
- ConfirmEdit is in MW since 1.18
- Nuke is in MW since 1.18
- Scribunto is in MW since 1.34
- SyntaxHighlight is in MW since 1.21
- VisualEditor is in MW since 1.35
...
Notes:
- we need to go one by one in the release notes: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes. Ex: Found this for mw 1.18 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.18#Bundled_extensions
- Basically this is the regex uri: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_[VERSION]#Bundled_extensions
Open Questions:
- are the versions of those extensions added in mw the ones that we would also go for knowing that we usually got for the latest ones?
- should we give an extra heads up on this in our release notes kinda "check out the new extensions that are bundled in mw [link]". I am working under the impression that, if that is not known, users may want to install extensions that are already in - basically the same as we have done! - and this could make their life eaier
