[21:27:48] <Reedy>	 Can I interest anyone in trying to get a few more Echo namespacing patches merged please?
[21:27:53] <Reedy>	 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Echo/+/856026/ and 3 more ontop of it...
[22:01:03] <xSavitar>	 Reedy, reviewed and dropped some comments inline otherwise, I'll +2 the rest.
[22:01:10] <Reedy>	 cheers
[22:01:22] <Reedy>	 I'm just trying to remember where "policy" for the back compat actually is
[22:01:49] <Reedy>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Stable_interface_policy
[22:01:55] <Reedy>	 google shows me...
[22:01:56] <Reedy>	 >Usage of deprecated code is considered more or less problematic depending on where it occurs: the most critical usages are within the same repository, followed by Wikimedia maintained code, further followed by code in the MediaWiki ecosystem. Usages outside the ecosystem are considered the least relevant.
[22:02:02] <Reedy>	 why cannot I find that in the document...
[22:02:15] <Reedy>	 oh, whole words ticked
[22:02:41] <Reedy>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Stable_interface_policy#Ecosystem
[22:02:50] <xSavitar>	 Not sure it is really mentioned in the SIP but I saw you brought this up in the talk page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Udshhbynqffmjtc1
[22:03:09] <Reedy>	 past me has great ideas sometimes
[22:03:17] <xSavitar>	 Though it's not directly about aliasing but removal of it when deprecated.
[22:03:24] <Reedy>	 Yeah...
[22:03:35] <Reedy>	 And probably within the scope of MW core more than extensions
[22:03:42] <xSavitar>	 Yeah
[22:03:48] <Reedy>	 It's not much effort to add the aliases
[22:04:22] <xSavitar>	 Okay, if it's not much, you can amend and I'll hit the +2 button multiple times :D
[22:04:30] <Reedy>	 haha
[22:04:43] <Reedy>	 It won't be tonight for me though, maybe get to them over the weekend
[22:04:56] <Reedy>	 But 1/4 merged is helpful progress :)
[22:05:01] <xSavitar>	 Okay sure, no problem.
[22:05:02] <xSavitar>	 :)
[22:06:25] <xSavitar>	 Reedy, saw your comment on the patch. Looks like we're good then.
[22:06:55] <xSavitar>	 4/4
[22:07:32] <Reedy>	 I do agree it's something we should better document/policy-ify
[22:07:54] <Reedy>	 But when we don't do great versioning on extensions @deprecated is helpful, but the since can be pretty arbitrary, unfortunately
[22:12:25] * xSavitar takes note to what Reedy said.
