Description

When I try to use the <math> markup, I always get the following error: Failed to parse (Missing texvc executable; please see math/README to configure.)
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/Math.git;a=blob;f=math/README

It seems like the Math extension was not properly configured on Wikidata client.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
Whiteboard: storypoints: 1

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Medium.Nov 22 2014, 1:11 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz40102.

• bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

Either use "sudo apt-get install mediawiki-math" if it is an ordinary installation or use mediawiki-math-texvc.

We'll just drop the Math extension from the client now. This should take care of the error message.

Removed extension from test and dev client.

Picked up for Sprint 16
