Yes.

it does not work for me. do i miss somthing?

Possibly, or our instructions aren't good enough. What doesn't work for you? How far do you get?

2 important steps which arent mentioned is the need of a running enviroment of mw (including a valid localsettings file) and run befor composer install. this fixed my issues.

@בקש: I've added this context. Do you think that will help others in future?

why not mention the need of run composer install (without --no-dev)?

@בקש: This is a detailed advanced developer instruction page. Basic "install MediaWiki" instructions are out of scope.

Basic "install MediaWiki" instructions use --no-dev flag... which wont work here

No? They say docker compose exec mediawiki composer update.

I haven't found a way to express dropping a table using an abstract migration.

Seems this isn't necessary, it can be done trivially from the update hook:

       $updater->dropExtensionTable( 'cn_known_mobile_carriers' );

Schema change patches?
