Public bug reported:
/etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions-available/wikidiff2.php uses the
deprecated short open tag "<?",
whereas all other extensions use the recommended full open tag "<?php".
This may not have been a problem in the past, but the latest PHP 5.5.3 packages
in Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy) (and Debian) now have
"short_open_tag = Off" as the default in the system-wide php.ini files. So,
visitors to a local MediaWiki installation would see:
'Wikidiff2', 'version' => '', 'author' => 'Tim Starling',
'description' => 'external diff engine for MediaWiki', 'url' =>
'https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Wikidiff2' );
$wgExternalDiffEngine = 'wikidiff2';
plastered across the top of every MediaWiki page.
This issue was reported as Debian Bug#716995 and Bug#723622 in July and
September 2013 respectively.
