Dumping variables
Is there a dump routine in MediaWiki? Since MediaWiki stores HTML for output, var_dump isn't working for me. This is a useful topic for this page. -- skierpage 01:11, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

This information does not work for MediaWiki 1.9 using the provided example. Does anyone have an up to date instructions? It would also be helpful if version information was included when providing examples.


 * There is also the useful '$wgDebugComments' variable. &#91;user:jldupont] 14:11, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

profileinfo.php
When I try to browse to /profileinfo.php, I get a blank page. Judging by the source of said file, even if profiling is disabled, there should still be something there. I don't even get any HTML let alone visible content. Any ideas?

Stack Backtrace
Is there a way to get a full stack backtrace with MediaWiki, or do I have to use PHP's Advanced PHP debugger? —Sledged (talk) 16:54, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

What are these table columns?
Has anyone ever bothered to document these table columns somewhere?:

Calls        Total          Each             %       Mem      (and three more without headings)


 * Is Calls DB calls, function calls, something else?
 * Total what?
 * What is the content of the three unlabelled columns?
