There's an official checklist for decommissioning an extension at: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/33/. Might want to compare your list to that one to make sure nothing was forgotten.

  • labs/countervandalism (remove the config var from InitialiseSettings.php.txt in the megatable dir)

FWIW I'm not necessarily sure we need to do anything about this. It seems like it might just have been a copy that was made of production config settings at some point. (I could be wrong though)

FYI, I copied that checklist into the parent task - I'm guessing that the Reader Growth Team has split it into subtasks that work better for them :)
