Project:WikiProject Extensions/Projects/Page Drive

Several extension pages are long overdue for review. Many are lacking the appropriate tags, both header and within the extensions, which cause confusion for other developers and sysadmins. In addition to time wasted on bad installations, there is also time wasted by other developers providing tech support to these bad installations. This will also help with future drives reviewing actual code of extensions (although you're welcome to do thorough code review during this drive if you'd like) and moving extensions based in wikicode to the code repository.

Extension pages needing review
Category:2012 Q1 Extension Page Review Drive

Review the actual extension
Review and make note of: A more thorough review of code for appropriate security alerts will be done during future drives
 * Compatibility with MediaWiki 1.18 and 1.19
 * If incompatible, mark with incompatible
 * Note hooks being used that are missing from extension's extension entry on its page
 * Any other appropriate page headers you notice (particularly security alerts)
 * More info on page headers for extensions

Update the extension page

 * Missing hooks in extension usage
 * Correct use of version numbers (each version supported must be separated by commas for proper sorting)
 * becomes
 * Add templates you noticed where missing from the page during your review of the extension
 * Be sure to tag with Extension code in wiki if extension's code is posted within the page (or elsewhere as wikicode on MediaWiki.org) rather than in a code repository
 * If extension is no longer actively maintained (18+ months since last edit or code update by developer is a good indicator) and in need of updates (ie. not functioning or otherwise clearly outdated), tag with unmaintained extension
 * If it is tagged with obsolete, or both unmaintained extension and incompatible, considering archiving the extension using archived extension
 * Finally, assuming the extension hasn't been archived during your review, update extension to reflect your completion of the review by adding:
 * pagedrive1 = true

Keep in mind

 * You are not limited to just the above actions
 * If there's an extension in need of a developer or some updates, be bold
 * When in doubt, ask, don't assume or guess
