Extension:MyVariables

This extension is a small example snippet of code that goes into the LocalSettings.php script, and allows the addition of new built in variables. The code snippet adds three example variables,,  and  , which serve as examples to follow when adding others for your own use.

First, we have to add all our new magic words to the MediaWiki environment. This code is based on the method described in Manual:Magic words. To add a new magic word, add its name into the array on the first line, and add a case for it in the last function (wfGetCustomVariable) to calculate and return its value when it's requested.
