Yes, but the info box also states 1.23 - 1.26. So there is a version
constraint for stable. This is however just a side note.

I believe the extension as such is "fixed" now however MediaWiki core
has an issue since REL1_27 that makes it not working at a 100 percent.
I am on my knees begging for a fix for a year now. However I am one of
the very few so there is no real "pressure" apart from the fact that it
is among the most popular extensions. Toi, toi, toi ... Sadly I am not
able to propose a change-set myself since I lack the knowledge to do
so.

Do not get me wrong: A) If one needs 100% only a separate wiki instance
will help. B) Lockdown already covers a lot in most use cases in an
acceptable manner so A was not required in most cases I have
encountered so far.

Cheers Karsten
