Description Ori Livneh 2013-06-21 19:47:48 UTC
Per comment by Fabrice Florin on bug 49967:

(See <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49967#c7>)

Upgrading to AFT5 presumably requires community consensus. The fact that ArticleFeedback is no longer actively maintained is a sufficient reason for uninstalling it, though, so I suggest we keep the two issues separate.

The following wikis still run ArticleFeedback:
 - eswiki
 - eswikinews
 - hiwiki
 - huwiki
 - metawiki
 - ptwiki
 - ptwikibooks
 - srwiki
 - zhwiki

I would like to ask for help in reaching out, providing notice, and securing consent.
Comment 1 This, that and the other (TTO) 2013-06-23 04:52:10 UTC
On Meta it is only used for the 2011 fundraiser pages in [[m:Category:Translation/Fundraising 2011/all]], so I think removal of it there would be uncontroversial.

We already organised switching this off. We sent out notices, informed projects, the whole shebang. Then Roan informed us he'd killed the extension in January when it started acting funny after the migration.

I'm not entirely sure why I'm CCd on to this bug, since AFT5 is no longer anywhere near my domain of responsibilities, but.

I'm not sure how anyone would know that. :-)  But good to know, in any case.

Was there a notice for ptwiki? Where?
