This is a quickly written extension to support comment pages in the same fashion as on Wikinews, but using a MediaWiki hook rather than JavaScript. Hopefully this can replace the JavaScript version somewhere down the road (see bug 11586).
[edit] Source
Source is available here on SVN.....
You can check out with the following command: svn co http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/CommentPages
This is GPL, by the way.
[edit] Installation
First, download the latest snapshot and extract it to your extensions directory.
Second, you'll need to set up a comments namespace using the instructions here. The relevant code in LocalSettings.php should be similar to the following:
$wgExtraNamespaces[100] = 'Comments'; $wgExtraNamespaces[101] = 'Comments_talk';
The above could look different if you have more namespaces.
Next, you'll need to have it set up the extension. In LocalSettings.php again, add the following lines:
$wgCommentPagesNS = 100; require_once( "$IP/extensions/CommentPages/CommentPages.php" );
100 should be changed to the key for your "Comments" namespace, whatever that is (something > 100).
This is not yet perfect, and I'm open to suggestions for improvements.
