--- Comment #11 from Olivier Finlay Beaton <[email protected]> 2011-09-18 03:24:19 UTC --- It's not that a version number will fix the bugs, but how do you know when an extension has a new version out? Do you use an spreadsheet to keep track of installed versions? a txt file? Do you keep all the .tar.gz files so you know what you installed last? But what do you do for the extensions that come from SVN, where the filename just has a mediawiki version (whatever is current) and a revision? I'm not saying it's not doable, I currently use version numbers when available, and .tar.gz filename versions for others, and a handful I just upgrade regardless from svn just in the offchance there is a new version (usually when I do a mediawiki upgrade). But I shouldn't have to do all that. It should be easy and friendly. I think displaying and more strongly encouraging extension versioning (by making it predominant and noticeable when missing on Special:Version) will go a long way to doing this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
