But there seem to be some problems with your contributions. I understand that you want to learn PHP and be helpful, but you probably should learn first, contribute to manual later, because you currently can't even tell &lt;includeonly&gt; from require_once. Let me advise you something: don't write a long and detailed plan while you still don't have the skills required to implement it. You've got to dive into web programming first. Take a PHP tutorial, read through Security for developers and Coding conventions, then try writing a simple extension. Don't even try writing RemotePageExistenceDetection yet, you will fail. First excersise yourself with something easier. Browsing Bugzilla for simple bugs and trying to fix them could also give you an opportunity to try real programming before starting a large project.

 * And please don't try mw.org turn it into Wikipedia, it is completely different. Concentrate on things that are on-topic here, such as development. I'm ready to post another review of your extension, if you've finished. Max Semenik 06:24, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
