About me
Some time ago I installed MediaWiki on my web server and added some extensions and designs to it. Not always these extensions and designs did completely suite my needs. So I started tweaking them and got deeper into MediaWiki.

My usual business is developing software, where I mainly use C++ but also lots of PHP and JavaScript. There are some other programming languages that I am bothering around with and many other projects I am working on.

MediaWiki extensions
Some MediaWiki extensions that I've been working on in some way.

Special:ManualSitemap
The Extension:ManualSitemap extension is the last one, that I pimped a bit. Changes done by me: $ManualSitemap_ServerBase = "http://www.thomas-schweitzer.de"; $ManualSitemap_ExcludeSites[] = 'page title to exclude'; or $ManualSitemap_ExcludeSites = array('page1 title to exclude', 'page1 title to exclude');
 * Made the site maps server base address be configurable. I needed this, because my registered domain name and the domain name of my web site hoster are different.
 * Show a warning and update link address, if automatically notifying for example Google about the new sitemap does not work. It didn't work for me, because my providers php.ini has fopen for urls forbidden.
 * Lets you define a list of pages that should be excluded from the sitemap.

ArticleComments
To Extension:ArticleComments I added a HTML style filter, disallowing users to override the page layout style. Some evil user tried to hack my homepage and changed the style this way.
