File Endings for TypoScript and TSconfig files

This voting relates to how to distinguish between TSconfig (User + Page), TypoScript and defining best practices
to be used completely throughout the TYPO3 Core.

See discussion here: File Endings for TypoScript files and TSconfig files - Discuss Topics - TYPO3 Decisions

For the sake of deciding, not all options have been added, otherwise having more than 6 options does not lead to a proper result. If necessary, a followup discussion/vote will be created

  • I don’t care

Summary / Final Decision after the voting timeframe:

  • Default File Endings for TypoScript files is “.typoscript”
  • TypoScript / UserTSconfig / PageTSconfig should be distinguished throughout the folder structure (not related to how it is named)
  • Default File Endings for TSconfig files (User+Page) is “.tsconfig”

No final decision:

  • Separating TypoScript setup and constants as well as the folder structure default naming is not a clear result, so I prepare a followup on that topic on how to proceed.
