Add parameter to indicate whether DB update is needed post extension installation

Jump to: navigation, search
<Wikinaut> yvipanda: does it need to run update.php after installation ? (this is not mentioned on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShortUrl )
<Reedy> Yes
<Reedy> That's somewhat stndard practise
<Wikinaut> Reedy, standard, yes/no, then please modify the Template:Extension info box, so that "php update.php" needed yes/no can be quickly indentified

Kthx.

Hi, having this parameter was a very good idea. However I suggest to remove the explanation "php update.php needed after installation" from display. I takes heaps of space. I think everyone may just click on the link which takes one directly to the documentation of the parameter and its implications. Cheers

It was annoying me too, so I went ahead and removed the explanation. I do not like boolean yes/no information presented in infoboxes this way. Cheers,

Thank you for being bold. :) Cheers
