Thread:Template talk:Extension/extra parameter "require shell access"/reply (5)

Shell access is arguably considered a requirement for full support by the template on Manual:Installation requirements, though it's listed in the "Optional requirements" section by the page itself: more than a couple extensions can legitimately require it for their own commands. We should perhaps first decide what's the default / the platonic ideal we aim for.

In practice, we can probably use the same parameter we use for update.php, specifying in the free text what command is required and when.
