I don't think this deprecated function should still be installed at MediaWiki.org. Why not move all data of Special:Code to Phabricator and remove this extension from MediaWiki.org?
Topic on Project:Village Pump
Won't that create a lot of dead links?
If it can be done in a way that (a) doesn't break the web; and (b) means the content is still fully accessible then I don't have an objection, however if either of these is not possible then I strongly urge that it not be removed.
Perhaps a simpler answer would be to remove code-reviewing rights from everyone, so the pages remain but are no longer editable by anyone?
Would you like to work on the migration code to move all data of Special:Code to Phabricator?
Not really, no.
Oh, I didn't mean you, more the original requestor and her/his question "Why not move all data". :)

Should have paid more attention to the indentation!
Special:Code is very pretty and useful and it shouldn't be replaced without a clear benefit. In fact, some days ago I wanted to reply to a thread and I couldn't because it was frozen: which is okay and makes sense, but a bit against WikiNow.
I also have no time to write the code. However, is it possible to move data after data from gerrit is moved?
Maybe we should remove coder and svnadmin group from Mediawiki.org. It currently does nothing about CodeReview (though coder sill have autopatrol right). Extension:CodeReview can be on hold. But I still concern that keeping CodeReview is a risk if there're bugs in extension and this probably can be used by hackers.
Phabricator will not even have comments from gerrit: http://fab.wmflabs.org/T42#46 I'd rather support importing gerrit comments into the CodeReview extension. ;-)
fyi, fab.wmflabs.org is closed.
Which shows my point. ;-) Hopefully you can reach the place where my link went; if not, add to the reasons to keep CodeReview.
