There isn't one. Maybe it's because we haven't cared until now, or maybe because we haven't needed it. Policy or not, concerns were raised about the naming of *this* extension. Saying "well there's no policy so it's pointless to discuss it" is a cop-out. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
