List of simple extensions
From MediaWiki.org
Beginning developers may wish to watch this intro video (slides) and peruse the list of simple extensions when considering how to create a new extension. Some of the code from these extensions can provide insight into how to approach an implementation task, or even be cannibalized for your purposes.
- Example extensions
- Manual:Special_pages#Basic_special_page_template provides an example of a four-file Special Page extension called
MyExtensionthat outputs "Hello world!" Don't forget the standard collection of special pages in includes/specials, the functionality of some of which you may already be familiar with. - Assert Edit is a simple API extension.
- Awesomeness is a simple API and ArticleSave extension.
- BreadCrumbs (Kimon), which uses UserToggles, provides a good example of how to incorporate CSS files into your extensions.
- PatchOutput uses the OutputPageBeforeHTML hook to apply some patches to the HTML code of a page before it is displayed
- RemoveRedlinks uses the LinkBegin hook to turn all red links into regular text.
- Extension:ChangeSessionSkin allows to switch between skins for the duration of the session, or until changed again, without changing the user preferences, thus available to anon users too.
