  • Yes Done Merge version bump in mediawiki/vendor - Gerrit change 266932
  • Yes Done Merge version bump in mediawiki/core - Gerrit change 266931
  • Update MW Codesniffer to require [arrays, like, this], and release it
    • Set up separate branch for 5.3 compat?
      • Why? Just have old repos still on 5.3 use the old coding conventions from 0.5.1 and not 0.6.x?
  • Bump MW core codesniffer dependency, and do mass conversion to square bracket arrays
    • For fun, we should see how many bytes this shrinks the codebase.
  • Start converting extensions, etc.
