run()

static Hooks::run ( $event, array $args = [], $deprecatedVersion = null )

static

Call hook functions defined in Hooks::register and $wgHooks.

For the given hook event, fetch the array of hook events and process them. Determine the proper callback for each hook and then call the actual hook using the appropriate arguments. Finally, process the return value and return/throw accordingly.

For hook event that are not abortable through a handler's return value, use runWithoutAbort() instead.

array	$args	Array of parameters passed to hook functions
string | null	$deprecatedVersion	[optional] Mark hook as deprecated with version number

Returns

bool True if no handler aborted the hook
