manifest_version
[edit]manifest_version is missing. As a result, Module:Extension does not set configuration prefix and, consequently, configuration variables' names, correctly.

Stale data
[edit]@Bawolff: Why is the bot not properly picking up my changes in gerrit:1046026? * Pppery * it has begun 23:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Seems like there was a shallow.lock file in CentralAuth that was preventing the bot from updating things after that extension. Hopefully should be fixed now. Bawolff (talk) 06:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Composer
[edit]This JSON contains references to non-existent composer packages in composer field, probably coming from the extensions composer.json or package.json. Example: Admin_links. Perhaps, some checks should be made.Alexander Mashin talk 05:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- I wonder if maybe those extensions should be changed not to have a package name if it doesnt exist. Bawolff (talk) 06:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, it seems the best fix is for Composer names that aren't registered to be removed from the extensions' composer.json files. (Or for them to be registered, of course.)
- There are some I think (the Bluespice ones?) that are valid names for a private Composer registry, so I'm not sure how those are supposed to be handled. Although looking now I can't find any documentation about that. Lots of the Bluespice extensions seem to have unregistered Composer names.
- I think quite a few extension authors put
"name": "mediawiki/foo"thinking that it's the thing to do, despite not being able to register anything within the mediawiki Packagist namespace. Sam Wilson 13:18, 20 July 2024 (UTC) - I, on the other hand, suggest that something like
composer showbe called for any extension claiming to be a Composer package while the JSON is assembled. - Hoping that many extension maintainers rectify the issue goodwise will not lead anywhere.Alexander Mashin talk 15:20, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Good idea. I've opened phab:T370729.
- But I still think the composer.json files should be actually fixed to not include the invalid names, or for the maintainers to register them on Packagist. :-) Sam Wilson 23:54, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Alex Mashin: Code is fixed and deployed, and the next update should remove the non-existent Composer packages. Sam Wilson 00:09, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, now this
.jsonwill become even more useful.Alexander Mashin talk 02:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC) - Actually I got it wrong, and there's a follow up patch. But then it'll work! :) Sam Wilson 04:16, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, fixed now! Sam Wilson 01:08, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
SemanticVersion not listed in here
[edit]Hi, I recently added a new MediaWiki extension called SemanticVersion. The repository's initial source code commit was merged on June 8th (Gerrit change 1154381), however it's been a few days and I haven't seen it listed yet in this module. Is there any reason why this might be happening? Thanks! SamanthaNguyen (talk) 17:37, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
