**Reason**
The ContributionTracking extension in ancient times redirected donors straight from main-cluster fundraising pages to PayPal. Its importance then dwindled and it served to manage a connection string used in DonationInterface and to serve the Special:FundraiserMaintenance page. That connection string is no longer used as of a month ago, and today the patch moving Special:FundraiserMaintenance to DonationInterface has been approved.
ContributionTracking no longer serves a useful purpose
**To-do list**
- This task
-- [x] Add maintainers of that extension/skin as subscribers to this task (if they have no apparent Phabricator account, notify them on-wiki or via email if possible and note it here).
-- [ ] Add Phabricator project <#ProjectX> as a tag for this task, and remove #mediawiki-extensions-other/#other-skins as appropriate.
- On-wiki documentation
-- [ ] Archive documentation on `mediawiki.org` (provide URL): replace page contents with `{{Archived extension|last revision id before archiving|task=T######}}` (for extensions)/`{{Archived skin|last revision|task=T######}}` (for skins); replace `T######` with this task's number.
-- [ ] If documentation page was translatable, remove `<translate>`, visit Special:PageTranslation, and click "remove from translation" (if you don't have the translation administrator right, ask a [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers/translationadmin | user who does ]]).
-- [ ] Update Wikidata item (provide URL) associated with documentation page
--- [ ] add statement `Abandonware (Q281039)` to `instance of (P31)` together with qualifier `start time (P580)` = the YYYY-MM-DD date that you decided to archive extension/skin (generally per edit history)
--- [ ] add qualifier `end time (P582)` = the YYYY-MM-DD (same date as above) to `instance of (P31) = MediaWiki extension (Q6805426)/MediaWiki skin (Q21996535)`
- Phabricator
-- [ ] Mark all Phabricator tasks for the extension/skin either Declined or Invalid. Add a comment pointing to this task when doing so for reference.
-- [ ] Archive Phabricator project <#ProjectX> for the extension/skin.
-- [ ] Edit Phabricator project <#ProjectX> description for the extension/skin with a link to this ticket.
- Translatewiki.net/translations
-- [x] Remove from `translatewiki.net` ([[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/translatewiki/+/refs/heads/master/groups/MediaWiki/mediawiki-extensions.txt | groups/MediaWiki/mediawiki-extensions.txt ]] / [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/translatewiki/+/refs/heads/master/groups/MediaWiki/mediawiki-skins.txt | groups/MediaWiki/mediawiki-skins.txt ]]).

-- [ ] Remove manifest/other references from [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/vagrant/+/master | mediawiki/vagrant ]] if they exist.
-- [ ] Remove from https://doc.wikimedia.org/cover-extensions/ if present (requires #continuous-integration-infrastructure shell user to delete directly from the server).
