It appears the MediaWiki module "hides" the extensions that are shipped in the package. Please consider whether this PR improves the module by allowing them to be easily used, or whether it just makes it confusing.

cc @aanderse @redvers

Motivation for this change

Mostly convenience - MediaWiki ships with bunch of extensions and these often require particular MediaWiki version. Using the ones bundled with the wiki source, one does not have to manually update them whenever the wiki is updated.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

@mmilata one thing I came to regret about the mediawiki module is that extensions and skins are handled in the module, instead of the package. I've recently realized that allowing allowing a mechanism for customizing packages makes for a much stronger module, as opposed to providing those customizations on the package from inside the module.

That being said... the way this module currently is setup, this is a very nice addition and based on the assumption you have properly tested this I approve 👍

It would be nice to get approval from @redvers too, but if he doesn't reply back in a day or two just ping me and I'll merge. Thanks for your work on this 🎉

@aanderse can you please elaborate, or point to an example of such package? I'm struggling to imagine how this works and would like to write better modules too:)

Also, I'm wondering whether this PR should use true instead of null as that would result in slightly more self-descriptive configuration.

@mmilata anything with plugins that uses symlinkJoin is probably a good example. I'll circle back to this when I have some time.

@mmilata unfortunately this hasn't hit the top of my priority list yet. I also forgot to come back and merge this... sorry.
