Hi!
Nice extension!
Why do these tabs are dependent on namespaces? Is it possible to
create tabs by tag extension, like this:
<createtab name="bla" href="http://ex.org" />
The design of this extension in its entirety is the result of prior
discussion. Wikinews and Wiktionary had a consistend scheme where every
page in one namespace had an additional tab in a different one.
If so, it would be nice to insert such pieces of code into the
templates and customize the parts of the wiki dependent of the
content.
Cheers,

I think it's quite complicated. First, this allows every user with 'edit'
permission to inject custom tabs. Adding a href attribute may reveal a
security hole (JavaScript code injection), so at this point I say decisive
NO. The second issue is the inconsistency of tabs created this way. We will
have a custom tab on a page where the tag is present, but we won't have one
on neither discussion page nor target page. On the other hand, I seek
content-dependent behaviour a great feature (I mean not only tabs, but
virtually every part of MediaWiki), but it's hard to implement by design
(AFAIK).
Anyway, my question yet is as follows: does this extension have a chance to
be enabled on some Wikimedia sites? (By the way, I've placed sample
configurations for Wikinews and Wiktionary on extension page.)

Hi, guys.
I've recently written an extension[1] which allows to easily inject
custom
tabs into the standard Subject-Talk scheme (with
some fancy toys like
tabs
re-arranging). This is the feature that is
currently implemented on some
Wikinews and Wiktionary projects via JavaScript.
Prior discussion took place at Bugzilla and evolved into the RfC[2] (look
for Bugzilla link there). The coding is quite done (see [1]), but one
change
is on review in Gerrit[3] (introduces same
namespace tabs for Wiktionary
+
code redesign); it lacks attention so it
hasn't been merged yet. People
at
Wikinews and Wiktionary are commonly not against
the new extension.[5][6]
I sent an e-mail to Howie Fung, as it is suggested in "Writing an
extension
for deployment" manual on MediaWiki.org,[4]
but I haven't received any
response yet.
I don't know what should I add here, so please could you take care of it?
I'll be glad to answer your questions!
