FYI, you could've amended the first commit to bring in those extra changes. I guess you could still squash it..

Yeah, looks like it's better now. :-)

General info on code review of extensions: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_an_extension_for_deployment#Code_review

Emw: Would you like to have a separate Bugzilla component for bug reports? See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Project_Maintainers#To_add_a_project_or_component for needed data.

Looks like that needs tidying up somewhat. I suspect 2 of the initial commits can be abandoned

The test install on wmflabs doesn't allow me to create an account (needed to test).

Hello, this is a quasi-automated-but-not-really message:

I am reviewing all tracking bugs for extensions to review and deploy to WMF servers. See the list here:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=31235&hide_resolved=1

The [[mw:Review queue]] page lists the steps necessary to complete the review. I have copied them below and done some initial filling out based on what I can easily gleen from this bug and any linked to sources that are obvious. If I miss something/state something false, please do correct me.

Also, if you haven't yet done so, please review the information on and linked to from:

There was some issues with the extension. Nobody fixed the issues so the patch got ambandoned. To move forward would require someone interested in fixing the spotted issue.

On a related note, there is ongoing work by Rillke to add support for the mol file format

I see @Bawolff. So this should be closed as Declined I suppose?

Not really, this task is about identifying the urgent next steps for the extension (and fixing them). Usually it takes many years to deploy an extension.
