done; corrected as mw.hook(codeEditor.configure).xxx

Hi all, rereading Extension:CodeEditor#Configuration at section 'JavaScript', it is difficult to understand the text "....by hooking into the [[<tvar|res-loader>ResourceLoader/Default_modules#mediawiki_2</>|MediaWiki JS hook]] <tvar|configure>codeEditor.configure</>."

• Default_modules is a redirection on ResourceLoader/Core_modules
• ResourceLoader/Core_modules #mediawiki_2 does not exist there, landing on section '1.1 mediawiki' which is too general, leading to API documentation, leading to https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/js/#!/api/mw.hook where a bunch of options is proposed - and we dont know where to go
• ResourceLoader/Core_modules also doesn't speak about 'MediaWiki JS hook' neither of 'codeEditor'.

So can someone reformulate sentence "....by hooking into the ???? " in a more coherent way ? Thanks.

I've fixed the link

You are right Jesus but the problem in sentence "It is possible to change the configuration of the ACE editor, by hooking into the MediaWiki JS hook codeEditor.configure." is that if 'MediaWiki JS hook' leads to 'mw.hook' , where this last can lead us to 'codeEditor.configure' ?

If you look at the example of ResourceLoader/Core_modules#mw.hook, it's mw.hook( 'wikipage.categories' ).add(.... With this example, you're assigning a function to the 'wikipage.categories' hook. In the case of CodeEditor, instead of 'wikipage.categories', you'd put 'codeEditor.configure'.
