Topic on Talk:Download from Git

I suggest there be an addendum created on this page (and others) indicating when a standard has changed -- links, for example. Doing so would allow users to find this page through a search engine when querying the older style links that are used in a plethora of non-updated examples. This would save others from the repeat of my unproductive experience:

I was following this page: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49267591/how-to-best-add-extensions-when-using-official-docker-image-for-mediawiki in learning how to add some extensions but got tripped up on the old standard of linking to the code repository:

gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions

whereas it is now:

gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions

Most older examples accessing the repository incorporate the old standard link which no longer work and do not lead here.

We can't really fix other people's outdated sites, sadly. There was quite a lot of noise made at the time of the gerrit upgrade two(?) years ago that /r/p/ links won't work any more. The more banners and warnings you put on these pages, the more readers will ignore them entirely, or miss the important bits.
