Change Details

I found the extension [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DiscussionThreading | DiscussionThreading ]]. I'm not sure does it work with a newer version of the MediaWiki + it is unmaintained. Should we archive this extension, because there are already alternatives which are maintained?
