Quite a few extensions use the master branch (for various reasons) instead of the REL branch. While some (like the ShoutWiki extensions) should remain on the master branch due to their workflow, some were simply switched to master for various temporary reasons that could now be resolved, so we should investigate which extensions can be switched back to REL_ and do so, as it's not great practice to user master unless it's really necessary.

- T7117: Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.36.0
Event Timeline
Comment Actions
There's currently 82 (yes, 82!) extensions on master. While some surely are ShoutWiki extensions and/or extensions that don't have REL at all, there's certainly many that aren't.

Due to the fact that some of these extensions inevitably have SQL changes that would be difficult to "undo" by downgrading, the approach that should be taken with these extensions is: 1) If there's any upgrade that involves SQL and is on a branch after 1.36, it should not be done 2) when the new MW version is out, there should be a list of these extensions and they should be downgraded.

I don't think there's any need to keep this open until we get to the 1.36 update, as the only things left to do is to see what we do regarding those ones and everything that could be done now is done. This can be reopened then.
