Description

Now that the WP25 Easter Egg extension has been branched for the beta cluster and production in T411408, the next step is to enable the extension so that it is visible on the beta cluster.

Requirements

In mediawiki-config:

Add extension:WP25EasterEggs to the extension-list file.
Define a new MediaWiki global variable, wmgUseWP25EasterEggs, in initialiseSettings.php and set it to false.
Use $wmgUseWP25EasterEggs in CommonSettings.php to conditionally load the extension and its configuration.
In InitialiseSettings-labs.php, set wmgUseWP25EasterEggs to true so that the extension is enabled on the beta cluster.

An example of this process can be found in the VueTest extension change:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/884361

Acceptance criteria

The Easter Egg extension appears on Special:Version on the beta cluster.
The community configuration for the extension is visible on the beta cluster.
