Thread:Template talk:Extension/Unmaintained status

Mark added this status and started adding it to extensions which already had the relevant template.[//www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension%3AAPC&diff=645486&oldid=645359] This, in general, produces information loss: it's usually not the maintainer (except the most diligent ones) assessing the status, so it's not a valid assumption that an extension without a maintainer can't have valid status information. I think it may be acceptable on extensions whose page is very old/unwatched or which are unused, but this would mean considering them case by case.
