*This extension is obsolete!*
It has been replaced by core functionality in the MediaWiki
software (which was added in version 1.16.0).
[1]
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Oversight
The extension is still installed on Wikipedia, as there are revisions that
used that and are still in the database. It's a bit irrelevant for
Wikidata though and don't think it affects the test system much at all,
whether or not we have that extension.
Developers have created a maintenance script to migrate all the old stuff
to the new system, so that Oversight can eventually be uninstalled.

revisions, history and a few more
