Forum:Why was seeing the Version information disabled?

Not that I'm complaining, but I noticed that if you go to the Special:SpecialPages of any wiki and try to look up the "Version" information (as in what extensions are installed, the MediaWiki version number, etc), you can't, as the Version link is no longer there.

I don't understand why this was done, so could someone explain the reason behind this? Arcane21 (talk) 13:41, November 2, 2012 (UTC)Arcane21


 * I can see Special:Version right now too.--— 13:44, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's odd. Aside from the Community Central Wiki, I don't see the Version option at any other wiki. Arcane21 (talk) 14:25, November 2, 2012 (UTC)Arcane21
 * I can see it on all wikis.— 15:28, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I checked, and it seems that if you type in "Special:Version" manually in the URL, sure, the actual page still shows up. The actual "Version" link on "Special:SpecialPages" doesn't seem to be visible on any wiki anymore. Arcane21 (talk) 16:19, November 2, 2012 (UTC)Arcane21
