It is better than nothing.
I'm inclined to support this request: if LiquidThreads are considered buggy and not ready for deployment on the Wikimedia projects, chapters should be given a broader power of appreciation. Niklas knows the LiquidThreads issues and so ask it knowingly.
Code review: Gerrit change #12366 wernda is willing to take care of any LQT installation, so I'm adding him in cc.
[adding 'shell' keyword]
All other requests were closed as LATER because of lqt being known buggy..
(In reply to comment #4) > All other requests were closed as LATER because of lqt being known buggy.. As I indicated in comment 1, all other requests were from regular WMF projects. This request have came from a Wikimedia chapter. I'm confident we can be more flexible on what we deliver to those wikis, as long as they know what they are doing and it doesn't have a negative impact on our infrastructure.

Niklas, could you give a rationale better developed than "It is better than nothing." explaining why you would like the extension?
Because we want most recent discussions on the top and manual archiving of topics is just waste of time. Plain watchlists are not enough when one can use Lqt to track conversations and as a TODO list.
Chapters' wiki are hosted by the WMF but are "owned" by the chapters, much like for instance the board owns boardwiki: they don't need better rationales and such. Nobody can throw an unsupported software on a wiki community, but chapters (which are represented by their boards) can do so to themselves, as long as they don't damage anyone else (and I don't see how they could). (br.wikimedia is probably not a good example because the unchapter didn't have a board and they didn't even seem to be aware of the issues.)
Done.
