Commit summary for MediaWiki.r111168: GOOD BYE $wgArticle! It was stated that it would be removed in 1.20 and we are in 1.20. RobLa-WMF's comment: We deprecated this less than a year ago (in r88588). This commit is doing nothing other than breaking things that might otherwise actually work, and there's no followup work with tangible end-user benefit that depends on this being gone. Most of the major Linux distros are still shipping a version of MediaWiki prior to this even being deprecated. When will we ever remove this? When we need to. Certainly not before someone gets around to writing the documentation that [[User:Tbleher|Tbleher]] requested. It would be just fine to throw deprecation errors upon use of this global, assuming there's a reasonable way to do that. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
