Not quite nobody: "Random Wikisaur" and "LimeSurvey Manual" are two non-Wikimedia wikis that have installed this extension, according to WikiApiary. Given that we can only currently find two wikis (out of the thousands indexed by WikiApiary) that use this extension, it seems pretty clear that this extension should not be bundled with MediaWiki. The idea behind bundling extensions was to make the installation process easier (e.g., including ParserFunctions and other extensions that most wiki installations would want). There's no evidence that the LocalisationUpdate extension meets the standard criteria for inclusion.

By "nearly all," I mean that of the 857 wikis listed by WikiApiary using this extension, approximately 855 (or 99.76%) are Wikimedia wikis. Which eight are you seeing? I only see two (mentioned above). > I don't know either, you have to ask Mark.

You certainly seem to pretty strongly disagree, but there seems to be general agreement not to include this extension (as evidenced by the linked mediawiki.org page and common sense). As far as I can tell, there was never any discussion or consensus _to_ bundle this extension with MediaWiki and we can only currently conclude that it was a mistake that needs to be addressed. I'll note that even TranslateWiki.net does not use this extension: <https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Version>. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
