Extension:FCKeditor abandoned
Can you explain how you know for certain that Extension:FCKeditor has been abandoned? I think you should add your rationale to the discussion page for that extension's article. --Lance E Sloan 14:05, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Per the upstream bug tracker http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/5602 and http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/6273 "MediaWiki and FCKeditor are no longer supported. Closing the ticked."

 * I see. But the newer CKEditor is supported, right?  We should add a template that directs users to the extension for that editor instead.  I'll look for such a template.  --Lance E Sloan 17:06, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know. Which is that extension/where does it live? :/ Reedy 18:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I think I'm wrong about that. FCKeditor has been renamed CKEditor, but on this wiki, the page for CKEditor redirects to FCKeditor.  The article about WYSIWYG is no help, either.  So...  I guess there's nothing else that can be done for now.  Hopefully your marking the extension as abandoned will attract some attention from developers that have some time to work on an alternative.  --Lance E Sloan 18:22, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
