Details[edit]

Usage[edit]
When writing a maintenance script, add RUN_MAINTENANCE_IF_MAIN to the end of file.
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/Maintenance.php';
class HelloWorld extends Maintenance {
public function execute() {
$this->output( "Hello, MediaWiki Devs!" );
}
}
$maintClass = HelloWorld::class;
require_once RUN_MAINTENANCE_IF_MAIN;
Here RUN_MAINTENANCE_IF_MAIN loads doMaintenance.php file which autoloads MediaWiki classes and configuration to run the script smoothly.
