Hey all,
This is a reminder that AjaxDispatcher and the Sajax js library have been
deprecated for a while now (many years). They are still around due to them
having been exempted from our deprecation policy – this because these
features (as well as their deprecation) predate the existence of this
policy and are part of our legacy stack.
I'd like to propose their removal in MediaWiki 1.26.0. This is expected to
release in November 2015 [1] for third-parties. For Wikimedia sites we'd
drop it in June 2015 halfway our 1.26wmf branch cycle. Well after 1.25wmf22
[2], and shortly after the Lyon Hackathon. [4]
That's soon, really soon. I have no love for this code but are we sure that
we can fix that list of extensions below in time? Well I know we can, but
are
we actually going to?
We've been talking about it for years now, as you point out ;-)
