Topic on Template talk:Extension

Idea from S page, copied from bug 43545:

"https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Extension should have a status=obsolete we can use for obsolete retired extensions, like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PrefSwitch . There is Template:ObsoleteExtension but it adds categories; obsolete extensions should be removed from categories such as extensions using SomeHook."

The way I currently handle it is that I archive extensions listed in Category:Obsolete extensions after there is not supported version of MW around which may be used together with the respective extension. So the information provided with the obsolete template is not really best fit. No objections having this status since we already have "unmaintained".
