## ChangeLog for RottenLinks


### 2.1.0 (06-10-2024)

### 2.0.0 (17-12-2023)
* Redesign RottenLinks to not depend on a maintenance script
* Changes how we count page usage on RottenLinks special page.

  migrateExternallinks maintenance script and to set
  wgExternalLinksSchemaMigrationStage to SCHEMA_COMPAT_WRITE_BOTH | SCHEMA_COMPAT_READ_OLD.
