use "wfLoadExtension( 'ConfirmEdit' );" instead of "require_once "$IP/extensions/ConfirmEdit/ConfirmEdit.php";" in LocalSettings.php

Hello. I am currently installing latest stable version MediaWiki 1.31 for my wiki InkluPedia. There is no ConfirmEdit.php in extensions/ConfirmEdit/ available. Can I use the file from MediaWiki 1.30? Thanks

Have you confirmed that the extension is nonfunctional without that file?

"php update.php" is complaining because of "require_once "$IP/extensions/ConfirmEdit/ConfirmEdit.php";" in LocalSettings.php

As this is still the official documentation at Extension:ConfirmEdit and the missing file is available in MediaWiki 1.29 and 1.30 I think it is missing.

File is missing in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/ConfirmEdit/+/master too. So either the documentation is wrong and from 1.30 to 1.31 ConfirmEdit switched to another unknown file or the file is missing.

Found solution. Looks like "require_once "$IP/extensions/ConfirmEdit/ConfirmEdit.php";" in LocalSettings.php is no longer working (because the file does not exists) but e. g. "wfLoadExtension( 'ConfirmEdit' );" is working. Something changed most likely from MediaWiki 1.30 to 1.31 here, because I fixed another affected extension (MobileFrontend) this way. Yes, I know that "require_once ..." is old and wfLoadExtension is new, but since MediaWiki 1.31 it is mandatory for at least two extensions because some files are no longer provided in extension archive.
