Re: [MediaWiki-l] Introduction to Extension:EditNotify

Hi everyone, The coding period for Google Summer of Code ended a few days back, and I am so happy to announce the new extension which I was working for the last couple of months. I had tried my best to make the extension as good as possible under the mentor-ship of Yaron Koren. So far I have been really enjoying my journey with MediaWiki. I have picked out a few features which makes the extension special. This extension makes use of Echo extension to notify the subscribed users of specific events. The events include creation of new pages, editing of pages, change in specific template field and change in specific template field to template value. Users can keep track of a particular namespace or category or get notified of these events in all pages. Users can receives notification as both alert message and email. Users can also keep track for all changes which notifies them of every edit. The create page notification is limited for all pages, thus it cannot be used in a particular namespace or category. For the extension to work, an array should be added to LocalSettings.php, in which usernames can be added to get notified for various events. You can read more about the extension at Extension:EditNotify [0]. In addition, we are planning to implement the user interface for the users to sign up for the events. I am very fortunate to be a part of this community, although I am a newbie in here. I am planning to stick with MediaWiki and contribute more to the organisation in future as well. Thanks to all those who have helped me out when I was stuck. My heartfelt gratitude to my mentor, Yaron for his time, support and guidance, without which I could never have completed the project. :) [0] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EditNotify Regards -- Abhinand N About <http://www.abhinand7.me/> | Blog <https://abhilovesto.wordpress.com/> | Github <https://github.com/abhinand4858> *"Explore.Dream.Discover"* _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
