Change Details

As pointed out by @ashley in a conversation, [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TextExtracts|TextExtracts]] is what Snippet does, except with more functions and more flexible. Deprecating this extension should be a slow process since outside sites use the Snippet API, such as Brickset (I think there's more, but I can't think of any). CC'ing @georgebarnick: Do you know what other sites use Snippet? Besides LEGO sites, it looks like it's being used also on a site called "Wikidébats" https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Wikid%C3%A9bats, [[https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:Snippet|according to Wikiapiary]]. Doing this to this extension will also require changing: * Changing some wiki pages: ** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Snippet ** https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:Snippet * Possibly archiving: ** This phabricator project ** The gerrit repo for this extension
