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.

This extension interferes with headertabs
Very interesting extension, especially in my installation created for our engineering department. Unfortunately it doesn't work with Header Tabs in this environment: I haven't quite found a fixed pattern for failure, but in this example: = Tab 1 = Contents of tab 1 = Tab 2 = Contents of tab 2 = Tab 3 = Contents of tab 3 produces this output
 * MW 1.16.0
 * PHP 5.3.2
 * MySQL 5.1.41

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?

Invitation to Berlin hackathon
Hi! Just wanted to invite the authors of this extension to Berlin Hackathon 2012, 1-3 June 2012 in Berlin, Germany. You'll get to collaborate with other MediaWiki extensions developers and learn about upcoming features in MediaWiki.

Source code?
Does anyone have a copy of the code for this still? All the download links (even on the wayback machine) are dead. Sam Wilson 03:13, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
