Mysterious
It's quite mysterious how most of the bullets here are of interest for normal sysadmins. Thanks for adding them anyway, they can be rewritten or removed later. --Nemo 08:18, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Release schedule : 2015-11-25 Confirmed ? And decisions about the included extensions ?
Hello,

Is the 2015-11-25, the announced release schedule, confirmed ?

And what are the kind of differences to be expected, apart from the extensions that are present in the extensions folder in : https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.25/mediawiki-1.25.3.tar.gz and which are not present in : https://tools.wmflabs.org/snapshots/builds/mediawiki-core/mediawiki-latest.tar.gz Theses extensions are :
 * Cite
 * CiteThisPage
 * ConfirmEdit
 * Gadgets
 * ImageMap
 * InputBox
 * Interwiki
 * LocalisationUpdate
 * Nuke
 * ParserFunctions
 * PdfHandler
 * Poem
 * README
 * Renameuser
 * SpamBlacklist
 * SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi
 * TitleBlacklist
 * WikiEditor

By the way, where is built the decision process about the extensions included in the different releases ?

Thx.

 * Yes, the release has just happened, 1.26.0 is there. IIRC, the snapshots do not contain extensions. The extensions, which are included in the 1.26 release, are the same as those included in 1.25. They have been updated, but they are still all there, none got removed, and also none got added. --88.130.109.128 21:08, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your answer. A question remains for me. I guess there was a decision process taking place somewhere about which extension to include. Is it accessible ? And if yes where is it ? --Dieudo (talk) 07:23, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Same question for the skins. Thx. --Dieudo (talk) 08:45, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
