The Maintenance extension adds a special page for running various maintenance scripts. The user needs the 'maintenance' right to access the special page.

[edit] Installation

• Download the three files from SVN and place them in $IP/extensions/Maintenance, where $IP is your wiki's directory
• Add the following to the end of LocalSettings.php:

//by default all bureaucrats can access this extension.
//change 'bureaucrat' to a different group for allowing a different group instead
$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['maintenance'] = true;
require_once("$IP/extensions/Maintenance/Maintenance.php");

• Installation can now be verified through Special:Version on your wiki
