Thanks for the response. Now, I have a clearer picture on what I'll be putting
on those files especially on the SpecialThesaurus.php file to where the major
elements are placed. And also, I now know that there is no need to hardcode the
html for I can use the Xml::Element()although I am not yet familiar with the xml
tags. I'll read tutorials on xml.
Questions:
> On $wgOut->addHTML()
- You said that I can change $wgOut->addHTML() to show whatever I
want. So,
what are the things that need to be considered so that I can use
$wgOut->addHTML()? Is there syntax to be followed for making it?

typing the

I can put it or shall I create also a new special page for it?

Thanks. (^_^)
P.S. I'm sorry if I piled up my questions.. Maybe it can be a harsh on you.
