i loaded both files to extensions/purge and added require_once("$IP/extensions/Purge/Purge.php"); in the localsettings.php, but it doesn't create a purge tab

Did you set $wgGroupPermissions?

I just installed it on my 1.18.1 and it works perfect with Monobook. Since you a using a skin based on Monobook it should work. To make sure it might be an idea to additionally install a normal Monobook and see if it works there. If it does, some adjustments to your individual skin causes the problem and have to be fixed, if it does not I have not clue why it is not working. Cheers

For those who use Vector: Purge for MW 1.18.x and probably 1.17.x only works with the version currently in trunk, which will be MW 1.19.x after the package for it was created.

Please answer in English to allow others to follow this too. It should work with the snapshot for MW 1.18. so I cannot tell what goes wrong. I just realise the ['*' ] in your third post. If it is in your LocalSettings.php like that this may the be the problem. Insert ['*'] without the blank. Also set the permission after invoking the extension. I guess these are all ideas from me, I am afraid. Cool wiki anyway. :)

Same here:

MW 1.18.2 Purge 1.18x Extension folder is fine LocalSettings.php is ok No tab on either the localhost or live (internet) versions of the wiki

Strange thing is I had it running fine on both versions of MW 1.16

The link shows up in the drop-down for me, but not as a tab.
