Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ExtensionDistributor
Assignee: [email protected]

directory of your MediaWiki installation. For example, on a Unix-like OS:
Similarly
"It may be used for immediate download to a server, but please do not bookmark
it, since the contents will not be updated..."
should be:
"You can use this link to download the extension on any computer, but please do
not bookmark it, since its contents will not be updated..."
