Extension talk:VisualEditor

Two extensions with same name?

I suspect that the VisualEditor on BlueForge and related sites is not the same as the one on Wikipedia (en). Agree? One points to http://www.hallowelt.biz as its URL (see BlueForge/Extensions), the other to mw:Extension:VisualEditor. Any suggestions on how to handle this? 🐝 thingles (talk) 21:41, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

The have a tendency to take extensions, rework them substantially and publish them under the same name. This is not the only one. I guess there a couple of other ones too. :| The last bit (publishing under the same name) is the nasty one. The only thing I can think of right now is to enter a note about this on this extensions page. --[[kgh]] (talk) 22:13, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

There is something I could do. It seems all of their extensions have the same URL of http://www.hallowelt.biz. I could modify 🐝 to detect "hallowelt.biz" in the URL field and then append something to the name of the extension. That would probably be a decent solution. That would make this "VisualEditor (Hallo Welt)" for example. I could limit that label to only some extensions, but in this case I would lean towards adding it to all instances. Thoughts? 🐝 thingles (talk) 01:12, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

I could do the same thing for Wikia. Hmmmm… 🐝 thingles (talk) 01:17, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
