This task covers the work needed to deploy extension:WP25EasterEggs to the beta cluster, following process outlined here.
Target date (for beta cluster launch): January 5th 2026
Process
- Add the new extension submodule to the git mediawiki/extensions repo if it's not already in it. See example. This will result in the code being deployed (unused) to the Beta Cluster. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/+/refs/heads/master/WP25EasterEggs
- Move your extension's CI config to the "Wikimedia production" section, add the "in-wikimedia-production" job template, and make sure it has and passes all the expected jobs for production code: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/integration/config/+/1213565
- Add your extension to the json make-wmf-branch release tool at least two weeks prior to your target date for enabling on the Beta Cluster. It will add the extension as a submodule of mediawiki/core when the weekly deploy branch is cut, and the code will be deployed (unused) to production (see explanation in the next step). https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/releng/release/-/merge_requests/221
Acceptance criteria
- extension:WP25EasterEggs is
livebranched so that it can be enabled on beta cluster
