Hacking for your first time

First Hack (+ Problems)
I did my first very basic own hack today. Before I release it on the main entry I want to present it here. Hopefully some questions will get anserwed and some hints added.

Add the Special Page "FirstTry"

 * 1. Open the file SpecialPage.php in the include dir and insert a new line into the $wgSpecialPages Array with the value "FirstTry" in both fields.
 * 2. Create a new file called SpecialFirstTry.php in the include dir.
 * 3. Insert into this File the function wfSpecialFirstTry and make $wgOut global to use the wiki-output.
 * 4. Now use the function addHTML of the $wgOut class to do a basic output. $wgOut -&gt; addHTML("Hello World");
 * 5. Go to Our Special Pages an Enjoy :)

Failures and next Steps
Pfew. Im not sure that there is not allready a Hack Guide into the wide wiki area. In this Case please tell me where!

In case that not the guide need some class infomations next so that a user can use this global classes and do not do all this sql and output stuff by own code.

Another problem i could not fix was this < > problem on the displayed title. I realy don't found it !!
