Hey, > Just curious, why is "composer require mediawiki/core" needed?
Because Hashar is talking about having a "MediaWiki installation" package, which effectively turns into "My MediaWiki installation" when you start using it. This package specifies all the things you want to install (in its composer.json). This will always include core, and also list the extensions you want on your particular install. The reason for having this seperate package is to get around the problem I described earlier in this thread - if you just have core, and you install other things into it by modifying the composer.josn of core, you'll end up with a modified non-optional file in the core repo, which causes hassle when you want to update. Of course if we got with such a "MediaWiki installation" package, I'd be natural to put mediawiki-core already in the composer.json file, so people would not actually need to run this command.
