David Gerard <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from David Gerard <[email protected]> 2012-11-23 21:53:45 UTC --- I was thinking in terms of scraping the infobox - an extension's infobox template on mediawiki.org constitutes well-curated metadata. (The next question is how fixed is the presence of that template on extension pages, and the format of the template.) The question came up when I upgraded a work wiki from 1.17 to 1.19.2 - it had lots of extensions, including: (a) upgraded in the MediaWiki tarball; (b) a newer version existing for 1.19; (c) no newer version existing for 1.19, current is fine; (d) extension has changed name (ArrayExtension changing to Arrays), upgrade. There would also be (e) extension doesn't work with this version, you may have to remove it. I'm not sure how to flag updatability. My use case was SyntaxHighlight-GeSHi, which didn't change at all between versions for 1.17 and 1.19, as I discovered when I downloaded the tarball for 1.19. Of course, if an extension doesn't say it lives on mediawiki.org, direct the upgrader to its listed page. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
