 As noted in #2896 I had to remove our libavatar plugin for mediawiki as it
 doesn't work for mediawiki 1.35 and above and the mediawiki 1.34 we were
 on has reached EOL.

 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Libravatar

 That said I had installed Gravatar instead, but strk said there are issues
 with that as it will send traffic to Gravatar.com.

 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gravatar

 It says it can use the libavatar service but didn't research enough to see
 how to do that.
