Code?
This looks like a handy way to annotate text within an article for discussion... but the code is missing.

Semantic MediaWiki component
How does this tie in with Semantic MediaWiki? Yaron Koren 20:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


 * pmwx should complement SMW or other extensions to MediaWiki and provide a fine-grained addressability to the content. --PeterYim / 2008.12.10-05:43 UTC


 * But why is Semantic MediaWiki, of all the extensions, mentioned specifically in the description? Yaron Koren 16:25, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

PHP warning
I am using MeidiaWiki 1.3.1 and SMW 1.3.1. I got the following warnings. Any idea? --129.176.151.10 22:34, 11 December 2008 (UTC) Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name].

 * These warning messages were due to depracted function call which has been fixed and a fresh version is released for download.--Viralgupta 20:56, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Installation Instructions
I'm not sure that I understand the installation instructions. I would expect the process to be:


 * 1) download to extensions/pmwx
 * 2) add "require_once('extensions/pmwx/PMWX_PurpleNumbers.php');"  to LocalSettings.php

While I was tempted to change the instructions on the home page, they are unusual enough that I thought I'd ask first...


 * Wordchisler 19:38, 21 February 2009 (UTC): I hope some one will change the instructions. I got it working with LocalSettings.php addition:

require_once("$IP/extensions/pmwx/PMWX_PurpleNumbers.php");

This extension interferes with floating tables.
A table marked align=right should appear on the right hand side of the article. Instead the table is appearing before the rest of the article text.

All or Nothing?
Is there a way, such as a magic word, to disable or hide the purple numbers selectively? Example: per article / per section / per table / per list basis?

Is there a way to to set the default to Hide for a given article?
