Thread:Extension talk:Favorites/Special page can't be edited, needs instructions/reply

The tag was meant to be implemented by a site administrator, but with the new userpage option, it could just as easily be implemented by a user. However, I was going to leave it up to the site admin to document this as they please to let their users know how to use the tag.

On the other hand, if you would like to change the blurb on the "Edit" portion of the Special:Favoritelist page, that can be accomplished by editing MediaWiki:Favoritelistedit-normal-explain. The raw page is MediaWiki:favoritelistedit-raw-explain.

Unfortunately, there is no text on the "View" portion of the special page. However, you could edit the title using MediaWiki:Favoritelist. Note that whatever you put in there, however, will also affect the title of the Special:Favoritelist page, as well. I would suggest perhaps a link to a page where the user can find instructions, rather than placing the instructions on the special page itself.

I hope this helps!
