Topic on Project:Support desk

I would like my extension to create a couple pages. It should only create the pages once, on first run.

• Template
• Special page
• Form

I'm guessing this should happen in the file: MyExtension/extension.json Correct?

I assume it's only a matter of bundling the page-names and page-content in my extension, and passing that to a page-creation call.

But what is the page-creation call? Should i use generic php? Or is there a special page-creation function for mediaWiki?

I see how pages are created using the web API action=edit. https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/API:Edit

But the Main API page says to use the PHP extension interface Ok, cool, but where is documentation for the page creation call in the extension API?

This page only mentions hooks in relation to page-creation, but no mention of creating pages directly. i don't need hooks for my purpose.
