Hey, > Sounds reasonable to me --> https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/124130
\o/ Thanks. This will save extension maintainers quite some hassle. > Couldn't you just create a MyExtensionNameSpecialPage class like below and extend that for your special pages instead of regular SpecialPage You sure can, and I have done such things many times in the past. This however still does cost effort and is in the end not so nice, esp if it needs to happen for all extensions that care about it. And in case they derive from different SpecialPage subclasses, they each have to do it multiple times. This all hints as a basic design guideline: only bind to frameworks where you have to, and avoid putting any domain and application logic in derivatives of their base classes. That's an entirely general guideline, yet one often disregarded in MediaWiki extensions.
