I'm setting up a testing sandbox to make sure some of my extensions (Extension:Update and Extension:Realnames) work on older versions. The first because it's about upgrading to newer stuff from older stuff, the second because it's a corp extension and my audience is on older cores (unfortunately). I often see extension authors talk about still using a deprecated method of doing things (see SpecialPage aliasing, or ShowSearchRealnames) so that they don't alianate the user base who are not always free to upgrade core. I'd like to see documentation (which I'm willing to contribute to) about the trials and tribulations (see above) of setting up sandboxes for older non-core-supported versions. It's my extension, I SUPPORT IT. But will mediawiki and it's community help me document the process of said support? I've reoppened, renamed bug to "Create documentation on problems running older versions" and set it "enhancement" for "unspecified version" on "all platforms". Being new I don't know where to start this documentation, maybe instead of "GO AWAY" someone could say "oh great, you want to contribute, here's where you'd probably want to do that!". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
