Thread:Project:WikiProject Extensions/Ideas/Link within Extension to allow developers to solicit donations/reply (20)

Deleting extension documentation on public WMF sites, in favor of links to private sites, is contrary to the goals of the WMF in cultivating the extension community for public benefit, and should be rejected as a matter of policy. Deleting information about flaws of the extension, especially when they cause the extension to not meet the proclaimed promise, should be rejected as a matter of policy.

Surely that's already the case. We don't delete extensions against the authors will unless there is serious issues (I'm not aware of that ever happening). Of course in cases where the primary documentation is elsewhere (say like with SMW), it does not make sense to duplicate the documentation here, where it will just get out of date. (In the case where the extension author wants nothing to do with us, I think it would be polite to delete the extension page, particularly if no one else is really depending on it. right to leave and all) I also can't imagine any case where we would allow an extension author to make misleading claims about the extension.
