The Comments: namespace is quite a well-used item in Wikinews. This extension will obviously do the job better than the JS hack we use right now.

This extension is now on the MediaWiki SVN: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/CommentPages/

It just needs to be enabled on the English Wikinews.

What's the main holdup on this? Can we get this enabled sometime soon? (need-review is because I was told the code still needs reviewing by someone)

(need-review is because I was told the code still needs reviewing by someone)

Yep, and until it is reviewed, there's nothing to do on shell, so I've removed that keyword.

Assigning to myself for review.

btw, removing need-review keyword for now since this extension is not compatible with trunk. (or at least, it didn't work when i tested it).

+need-review so this shows in the relevant lists, doesn't really matter its brokeness

Chad and/or Reedy: can we get this extension (CommentPages) moved into Git, please?

Please add it to the list: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Conversion/Extensions_queue

I will be processing all outstanding migration requests this week.

Done in the meanwhile, now needs review.

Fixing the extension so it actually works would probably be a step that should be done prior to review (or you know, the review won't last very long).

I'm closing this bug this "invalid" because it looks pretty clear that the extension author will not be revising the extension to make it deployable. It is in Git in case Zachary or someone else would like to improve it:

I'm very sorry for the original delay in response, Zachary. If you'd like to work on improving communications mechanisms within Wikimedia projects I would like to bring your attention to a few new projects that could use your help:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo_%28Notifications%29

Thanks for your work on this and your contributions to Wikimedia projects. Again, my apologies on the delay in review.

The underlying issue here isn't resolved, but rather than re-open this bug, I forked it to bug 42214: "Opinions" tab on the English Wikinews currently uses a JavaScript implementation when it shouldn't.

(I guess cloning a Bugzilla bug doesn't leave a Bugzilla comment. A bit strange, in my opinion.)

This is a dupe of bug 13228 ("Adding custom inter-namespace tabs").
