Extension:BoilerPlate

The BoilerPlate extension is a blank extension template. It doesn't really do anything on its own. It provides boilerplate code for an actual MediaWiki extension.

Usage
To use it, enter the following commands to make a clean directory of just the BoilerPlate source code without the Git meta-data and other examples. (Substitute your extension's name for MyExtension.) Then in MyExtension
 * rename BoilerPlate files to MyExtension.
 * change  variable names, preserving case (i.e. boilerPlate -> myExtension).
 * replace "Your Name" in skin.json with your name
 * etc.

Installation
If you want to install this dull extension on your wiki to see if it works or troubleshoot problems with your adaptation.

Earlier MediaWiki releases
If you want your extension to be compatible with earlier MediaWiki releases, consult the source code of release branches of the Example extension.
