Identify outdated extensions from a web interface
I would like to be able to identify extensions that have updates available from a web interface. Extensions that have known security issues would be highlighted in some way. Legoktm (talk) 06:00, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

One concern that was mentioned at the Wikimedia hackathon session on this rfc was that this may end up being a security concern as Special:Version is a public page that would be broadcasting that a particular installation is using out-of-date-extensions.TCipriani (WMF) (talk) 17:52, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think there's any requirement to use Special:Version to provide this interface, or even make it public. It's just that I, as a wiki sysadmin, want some web interface that shows me the status of my extensions. Whether it requires a specific user right or some other access control is an issue for implementation IMO. Legoktm (talk) 18:07, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
