Extension talk:Maintenance

Pretty Cool
I haven't tried it out yet (and with my non-wiki related worload won't get to for a while...), but this seems very useful. Thanks for making it!

Are you planning to add more scripts to it? If so, I would like to suggest generateSitemap.php.

Looking forward to using this extension. Smaug  21:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm planning on eventually supporting the entirety of the /maintenance directory, plus any extension scripts that want to be included as well (but those get scrutinized more). --Skizzerz talk - contribs 22:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

It seems very usefull when you can't launch any php script within the maintenance directory ! What about deleteOldRevisions.php ? I am also very interrested by the generateSitemap.php

This is helpful, thanks! I'll keep checking back for the generateSitemap.php script as well.

Is it not working yet or did I do something wrong? Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfgetlb in /home/deathbyn/club_html/extensions/Maintenance/Maintenance_body.php on line 410 --DeathByNukes 20:34, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Strange, I'm not getting that error myself... Anyway, this extension is still a bit buggy after many tests with it, so I'd recommend holding off on it and using something like PHP Shell instead (google it). -- Skiz zerz  20:48, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh, my host already has a lot of tools, I'm just not comfortable trying to modify the database directly.--DeathByNukes 22:42, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The error is due to the fact that wfGetLB and such were added by Tim Starling in 32578. Thus Maintenance won't work on wikis not running 1.13alpha. You should either use an older version of Maintenance or upgrade your MediaWiki to 1.13alpha (or wait for the "full" MW 1.13 release). -- Sayuri 11:27, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Question
Does this script work on mediawiki 1.15.1?
 * Yes It does. ^^

MW 1.16
Does this work safely with MediaWiki 1.16 ? Preferably with 1.16.0beta3 ? Krinkle 04:00, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The current version does not work with 1.16. I do have an updated version that does work, but I have yet to commit it as I'd like to ideally at least have most of the common scripts supported upon its release. -- Skiz zerz  04:34, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yay late replies, but the new version in svn works with 1.16+ now. -- Skiz zerz  08:37, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * it not work for me the maintenance page is empty (i've changed enabled to 1 and have file on maintenance folder!)

MW 1.17 gives several parser errors
I try to install the Extension, but when I click on Special:Maintenance, I get many errors.

Including:

 * great, I'll try the fix then, hope that motivates more ;-) --Erkan Yilmaz 04:48, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
