Ideally we'd need a way to not load it from production's extension-list…
http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Cite > Page not found Should redirect to CiteThisPage (as configured by CiteThisPage.alias.php). http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:CiteThisPage > Works http://de.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Cite > Redirects to Spezial:Zitierhilfe > Page not found Should display page. http://de.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:CiteThisPage > Redirects to Spezial:Zitierhilfe > Page not found Should display page. I can instantiate SpecialCiteThisPage from mwscript eval.php for both enwiki and dewiki on deployment-beta. The mediawiki-config is set correctly (it loads SpecialCiteThisPage when $wmgUseCiteThisPage is true, and otherwise it loads SpecalCite). Beta loads CiteThisPage, prod loads Cite. The only thing I could find that might cause this problem is the fact that extension-list contains the old SpecialCite, and thus localisation update -> $wgExtensionEntryPointListFiles -> mergeMessageFileList.php -> wgExtensionMessagesFiles contains conflicting information. There is a way to add extensions for -labs only, but there doesn't seem to be way to add an extension for prod only without it also loading in labs and at this point the two extensions are mutually exclusive. We should: 1) Not deploy to beta (remove) and switch both later at the same time. 2) or; Fix the old and new extensions to somehow to co-exist. 3) or; Implement a way to add extensions in prod only, and give up that beta is always production + modifications.

After talking it through with Greg, we're probably going to deploy it all at once at some point in mid-October. We'll work out and communicate this to the wikis so they have a heads-up.
