[edit] What can this extension do?
This Extension allows you to set up Interface Messages (Usually edited through MediaWiki: namespace pages) that will take affect on all the wikis that include this extension. This extension is especially useful for Wiki Farms where you would want to make a customisation on all of your wikis easily.
[edit] Warnings
This extension is primarily targeted at people who know a bit about PHP. Currently, the only way to add new global messages is through editing the extensions internationalization file. In the future, a Special Page interface might be added.
[edit] Usage
To add a new message to the entire wiki farm, add this to the end of the GlobalMessages.i18n.php file and before the last "}":
'messagename' => "This is some message text. Etc etc etc.",
Where messagename is the name of an Interface message (A list of them is available at Special:Allmessages).
