Finding a hook's version and Gerrit ID

To populate the version and gerrit attributes of this template, you may need to search the history of the docs/hooks.txt file.

1. (From the top-level of a Git clone of MediaWiki source code)
2. Find the oldest commit to hooks.txt that mentions the hook:
   • git grep <hook-name-here> $(git rev-list --all -- docs/hooks.txt) -- docs/hooks.txt | tail -n 1
3. Find its Gerrit ID:
   • git log <commit-from-above>
   1. Copy the change-id from the log entry into the Gerrit search box
   2. Select the relevant change, and get its ID
4. Find out what release the hook was first included in:
   • git tag --contains <commit-from-above>
