Supplementary local info added to the bottom?
[edit]Is there any way we could add, or link to, some supplementary local information, at the page that was transcluded from mediawiki.org? Eg. mw:Help:User page would go everywhere, but then en:Help:User page could add some additional sections at the bottom.
(Afaik this is impossible, and any wiki that wanted supplementary info would need to create a local copy and add it to that.) –Quiddity (talk) 02:02, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

- Maybe the mw pages could have a template that would create some kind of "{{SITENAME}} specific" link, that would appear only if an equivalent page exists locally?
- For example, at LocalWiki you would have:
Help:MediaWiki/User_page(an automatic copy of mw:Help:User page).Help:User_page(an optional page created manually with local specific info).
- The Help:MediaWiki/etc part would identify the MW generic help pages. This idea would need a lot of polish, but at least would allow a reasonable integration between generic and local help docs. Qgil (talk) 14:30, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

I don't know where to report bugs for this extension. So I report it here:

In my MediaWiki 12.4.1 installation there is this repeated error message (in Apache2 logs):
PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/withoutvowels/web/w/extensions/HelpPages/HelpPages.body.php on line 86
HelpPages: REL1_24

I see "There is currently no text in this page." message at my help pages, even despite Special:Version shows that HelpPages extension is installed. This bug disappeared for me. I have MediaWiki 1.24.1.

Probably this bug is related with this MediaWiki bug.
