Igottheconch or anyone else,

How did you figure-out the exact link, i.e. why is it http://upload.wikimedia.org/ext-dist/Livelets-MW1.17-r77537.tar.gz? Specifically, I don't understand how you figured-out the "r77537" part of the URL.

I want to download the Cite and ParserFunctions... but it isn't obvious to me how I can work around the broken ExtensionDistributor.

I thought I had it figured-out when I clicked the Subversions link on the Cite Extension page. This returned "mediawiki - Revision 105413: /trunk/extensions/Cite/modules" at the top of the page. So, I reckoned that the URL for the extension is http://upload.wikimedia.org/ext-dist/Cite-MW1.18-r105413.tar.gz -- but it didn't work.

Help resolving this is much appreciated. Haribo 04:27, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
