Extension talk:WatchSubpages

I have the code working but I can't seem to get anything added to my watch list. Can I get an example or a step by step of how this is suppose to work? Thanks --Johnp125 20:55, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Answered my own question. This is a great extension but to get it working you have to make sure the $wgNamespacesWithSubpages = array_fill(0, 200, true); is in the localsettings.php file or something like it. Also this only works with something normally turned off in mediawiki which are subpages as the name applies. So all your pages will need to be redone. if you have a page like page is now has to be page/new page so when you are using the special:watchsubpages all the pages in the page will show up in a list of subpages. I think this is a very very good tool but I would like to see it with categories as well. Categories are used in wikis all the time and I think can be integrated much easier on most wiki configurations without having to update all the pages on your wiki.

How to use this extension
Hi, Prod. I cannot find the item of Watchsubpages in the Special:Specialpages. Until I use the url http://127.0.0.1/mywiki/index.php/Special:Watchsubpages or make Special:Watchsubpages by myself. :-)--Roc michael 22:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It should be under the "Restricted Special Pages" heading, under the "other" subheading if you have 1.13. -- Skiz zerz  22:41, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

What this does
I had to dig into the source to figure out what this does.

Ah. I suspect page_title LIKE clause is used to find pages with a common title prefix. A precise definition of "subpage" in the extension description would be valuable. - MaxEnt 20:58, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delayed response, but see Help:Subpages for a definition of what subpages are. -- Skiz zerz  04:45, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
