I agree 100%. It would be cool if we had a bot auto-update part of those page (While still allowing users to add info and tips). Maybe even some sort of parser function to retrieve documentation... Both Manual:Hooks/foo and all the $wgFoo pages can definitely benefit from some automation. (Even cooler, would be if we could have something like Special:Documentation/Linker::link (Before anyone balks, :: is allowed in special page subpage name), which retrieved the info from doxygen for that page, as an alternative way to view the docs). --bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
