Encoding issue[edit]

I've found an issue with the page name encoding. Page name with &-characters does not work. Here is the fix

 Index: Watchers.php

Not available on the download link[edit]

The current download link on this page points to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/

However, the Watchers extension is not available on the dropdown menu.

Sources from SVN fail when viewing "special" pages[edit]

I downloaded the sources from the svn (just 4 files Watchers.alias.php Watchers_body.php Watchers.i18n.php Watchers.php), and followed instructions.

I can see the extension as installed in the 'Versions' special [age but when visiting all Special Pages, it fails with:

6bc39b9e46aeedf0c41437e0] /wiki/Special:SpecialPages Error from line 18 of /var/www/wiki/extensions/Watchers/Watchers_body.php: Call to undefined method SpecialWatchers::includable()

Are there more resources to download? Ankostis (talk) 12:00, 11 Oct2018 (UTC)
