Extension talk:MaintenanceShell
You shall ask for MaintenanceShell to be in SVN, as it seems useful and already in production version. What's your feeling about this? --almaghi 16:12, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I like to monitor downloads from my server.. but perhaps I should consider your suggestion :) thanks --Frantik 00:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You're welcome ;). ''Note that it was a suggestion from and for user (without any developer point of view): the advantage for users to have extensions in SVN repository is that extensions are this way full-packed in nightly-built; therefore we don't need to navigate, search and pick through the MediaWiki's extensions...
 * Cannot you get an access to SVN repository that would permit you to kind-of monitor the downloads? (I don't understand what does that really mean, by the way, so apologize my stupid question). Have a good day, --almaghi 09:02, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I honestly don't know anything about the SVN repository LOL --Frantik 09:09, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * → Commit access requests for /extensions/MaintenanceShell. --almaghi 21:32, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi! I see from Special:Code/MediaWiki/author/swiftlytilting that you did get commit access.  This setup guide should help you to get your extensions into the main MediaWiki Subversion repository.  Please let us know on IRC if you need any help, or contact me.  Thanks!  Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 21:40, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

=> Extension talk:MaintenanceShell. Good idea those additional links! --almaghi 09:02, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I think that there is a small bug in the current version (0.2.2). In MaintenanceShell.php the following line:

should be...

(ie replace & before "title" with ?)

Otherwise the "Return to the Maintenance Shell" does not work. Camerojo 01:21, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I added that fix and will release a new version soon. I think firefox must not care if ? or & is used because it works on my browser even though it's obviously incorrect. --Frantik 03:35, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

SendToTwitter2
I was looking for an extension that would tweet about new articles for my wiki and came across SendToTwitter2. It works great for my purposes, and I was able to modify it to use my own URL shortener instead of TinyURL. Thank you for making the code available! I was wondering if you know a way to show the "Tweet about this edit" box only to registered users (in much the same way the "Minor edit" and "Watch this page" checkboxes only show up when you're logged in)?

Merging SendToTwitter2
Greetings - I'm merging three Twitter extensions into one - and down the road would like to include SendToTwitter2. Credits and functions will remain in place. Here's the discussion, please let me know if you have any objections or input. Thank you! --Varnent 21:36, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Extensions workshop tomorrow
MediaWiki.org's WikiProject Extensions is presenting their first MediaWiki Workshops for developers (volunteer and staff). Preparing extensions for MediaWiki 1.19 will be held tomorrow, on 13 January, 2012 at 19:00 UTC in IRC (#wikimedia-dev).

This IRC workshop will be an opportunity to find out about changes in MediaWiki 1.19 that may require revisions to extensions or skins. Also an opportunity to ask MediaWiki developers questions regarding extension development.

Everyone is invited to attend. Developers interested in serving as "extensions" or "MediaWiki 1.19" experts are encouraged to signup as participants at: Project:WikiProject Extensions/MediaWiki Workshops

If there's continued interest / demand, MediaWiki Workshops will typically last one hour, and happen no more than twice a month to present trainings, hold discussions and collaborate on community or WikiProject Extensions projects. Facilitators host the session to introduce any presenters, determine the order of questions, and generally helps to keep things going. Time of day will vary in order to offer people in different parts of the world the opportunity to participate. Future topics will likely include MW.org documentation, ResourceLoader orientation and workshops similar to our inaugural chat to prepare for each MediaWiki release.

More information: Project:WikiProject Extensions/MediaWiki Workshops

MediaWiki.org's WikiProject SysAdmins will also likely host similar MediaWiki Workshops to help third-party wiki system administrators.
