Hello,
In MediaWiki 1.42, within the list=tag API query module, the tag source
type named "extension" was renamed to "software" [1]. The "extension"
entries were made to still
appear alongside "software" in the tag source list but were deprecated
[2][3]. There are plans to remove this compatibility behavior in the
next major version of MediaWiki (1.47), so that the "extension" entries
will no longer appear.
The use of "extension" is misleading because it does not exclusively
refer to tags defined by MediaWiki extensions (via the onListDefinedTags
hook), but also those defined in MediaWiki core (via
ChangeTagsStore::DEFINED_SOFTWARE_TAGS). The distinction isn't really
useful to clients anyway.
