This script aim to facilitate the export of mediawiki core and a list of extension.

Since 1.19, mediawiki is using Git and the extension distributor doesn't work anymore. There is not svn-export functionality and you don't have systematic branches for each git repositories. This is particularly scary when you're not a pro-developer since Wikimedia Foundation decided to have a two week deployment window. How to limit risks to have core and extensions not compatible ?

If your website is not updated directly through Git, you may be interested to extract archives from mediawiki Git repos and upload them to your host.
