Request for Hook
Did you request adding the Hook to MediaWiki Core? Is there something in bugzilla about this?

 * Not yet. I created the extension a couple days ago. A developer on the Wikipedia usability team is going to be doing code review on it, as they were looking for an extension that did something like this. I'm going to work the hook stuff with them.


 * I don't necessarily need to have a bug in bugzilla for this, as I have commit access. I just have to discuss my changes before I make them. --Ryan lane 15:27, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks for the information :) --DaSch

Extension credits
Please add
 * 'path' => __FILE__,

to the extension credits. Then the SVN-Revision is displayed on special:version when checked out from SVN

Thanks --DaSch

 * You may want to give us a few days on this. We are changing in the process of changing a lot of things right now. In fact, the hook isn't required anymore. Another hook is used. However, you may still have to backport some skin changes to make it work in 1.16 and 1.15. --Ryan lane 22:17, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * You should be good to go to try this out now. It is working perfectly in my 1.14 installation with the change listed on the documentation page. It should work without issue on newer versions of MediaWiki. Make sure to get the newest version from trunk. --Ryan lane 18:28, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
