Check for existing i18n backlink customization
Open, Stalled, Needs TriagePublic

Description

In case a wiki has already some customization for backlink markers, we want to display some information to the users.

Specification

The grey box will only be displayed, when a customization has been made for the current wiki.

Text for the messagebox:

Your site includes a legacy backlink customization using the MediaWiki:Cite references link many format message. Please follow the instructions on the help page for migrating to the new style.

Implementation notes:

TODO

  • What pages do we want to link to?
  • Move the box to the correct position. (Can be done later when the code structure is more clear.)

Outcome for review

@ElineWMDE I am wondering about the links:

There's no good way to do that check. We should instead just show a generic message. Let's stall that ticket for now until we have decided on that.
