The MissedPages extension tracks every time a site visitor tries to go to a wiki page that doesn't exist, and gives site editors a easy-to-use form with which to track the most popular missed pages and also to redirect these to existing pages.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted MissedPages folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:

  cd extensions/
  git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/MissedPages
  

• Only when installing from Git, run Composer to install PHP dependencies, by issuing composer install --no-dev in the extension directory. (See T173141 for potential complications.)
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'MissedPages' );
  

• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
