MaintenanceShell provides access to the Maintenance scripts via a Special Page.

Contents

Installation [edit]

  • Download and extract the files in a directory called "MaintenanceShell" in your extensions/ folder.
  • Add the following code to your LocalSettings.php (at the bottom)
require_once( "$IP/extensions/MaintenanceShell/MaintenanceShell.php" );
  • Configure the user rights and grant yourself access to that group from a bureaucrat account.
  • Yes check.svg Done – Navigate to "Special:Version" on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration parameters [edit]

$wgMaintenanceShellPath
By default the extension lists maintenance scripts of MediaWiki core. Change this path to a different directory if you'd like to list different scripts instead (of a certain extension for example).

User rights [edit]

maintenanceshell
This right (for security reasons not assigned to any group by default) grants the right to use Special:MaintenanceShell.
// Grant access to Special:MaintenanceShell to the "developer" user group:
$wgGroupPermissions['developer']['maintenanceshell'] = true;
 
# Or

// Create a new "maintenanceshell" user group for Special:MaintenanceShell:
$wgGroupPermissions['maintenanceshell']['maintenanceshell'] = true;
