9 == Development Information ==

11 If you are a developer, you might want to fetch the extension tree in another
12 directory and make a symbolic link:
13 
14  mediawiki/extensions$ ln -s ../../extensions-trunk/FooBar
15 
16 Most extensions are available through Git:
17  https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MEXT/
18 
19 
20 Please note that under POSIX systems (Linux...), parent of a symbolic path
21 refers to the link source, NOT to the target! You should check the env
22 variable MW_INSTALL_PATH in case the extension is not in the default location.
23 
24 The following code snippet lets you override the default path:
25 
26  $IP = getenv( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' );
27  if( $IP === false ) {
28  $IP = __DIR__ . '/../..';
29  }
30  require_once "$IP/maintenance/Maintenance.php"; // a MediaWiki core file
