Extension talk:Asksql

Is this extension still supported in MW 1.12a? I have tried to get it to work, but it keeps telling me I have no access to Special:Asksql (page exists). Installation is according to instruction. Should this extension be archived? Siebrand 10:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I got revision 28203 (in the REL1_10 branch) to work on 1.10 by adding $wgGroupPermissions['sysop' ]['asksql'] = true;. Jlerner 14:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I got it to work now, too, and I updated the code in SVN trunk. Cheers! Siebrand 12:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

ExtensionFunctions.php ?

Generic SVN instructions?
Extensions in the SVN should be tagged with a specific category and a link to generic SVN instructions. Its too easy to forget how confusing it can be for a new user. --Dmb 09:21, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Extension busted?
I just SVNed the latest revision (33879) into a 1.10.1 install, and when I visit special pages I see (literally)

Restricted special pages * &lt;asksql&gt;

hrm... that isn't exactly what I see literally. See the source. Anyway, it don't look right. Also clicking the above link (it is linked) takes me to a 'blank' page.

Remove deprecated feature
Should the code be cleaned up to remove the deprecated feature $wgAllowSysopQueries? Simple removal of 4 lines of code from AskSql_body.php. There is a test to see if the user isAllowed('asksql') so it should be safe to remove the previous 4 lines.

I would be happy to do it, but not sure of the procedures to follow to make a change and submit it.

If that is done then clean up the AskSql page to remove references to it.
