        About the same: other commitments crept in and I’ve mostly
        abandoned the code c. 2015.  There’re probably a handful of
        undocumented (as in: uncommitted) changes made in 2015‒2016,
        but unlikely anything beyond that.

        Obviously, the code may be somewhat out of date with the Emacs
        facilities it relies upon – as well as MediaWiki API itself.
        For one thing, the ‘login’ action it uses to authenticate user
        against the wiki is no longer supported “as of MediaWiki 1.27” [2].

        I’ve re-uploaded the .tar file and the Git repository to the
        following URIs, respectively.
