So this isn't too big of an issue, but I've
realized that we have three
extensions that do exactly the same thing:
Extension:Gist <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gist>
Extension:Gists <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gists>
Extension:GitHub <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GitHub>
And by exactly the same thing, I mean the code is nearly identical. All
three have the exact same effect of adding in a <script> tag when the
<gist> tag is used in a page.
For the sake of making things easier on people who might actually want to
use one of these three extensions, could we maybe pick one?
Who's we? WMF isn't using any for obvious reasons (arbitrary code
injection).
If someone is interested (please make sure it's on a wiki with closed
registration), I would recommend
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gists since it's hosted on
GitHub (pull requests beat edit conflicts any day).
