"No such extension"....
I take it I can copy and paste the files off the web page?
Also, how difficult would it be to extend it to allow multiple commands (I have 8 commands I need to run right now; that's going to run up to 9 shortly. I can set up 9 special pages by changing the names but that seems like overkill v. just passing an argument to select the command.)
Yeah, you can copy and paste the files. I thought that kind of more complicated stuff was what MaintenanceShell was designed to do? In what way was MaintenanceShell too broad? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Maybe I'm missing something about the maintenance shell. I don't want my users to see any of the "bones"; I just want them to click on a link and have things done.
I thought maintenance shell gives you a terminal type environment you then can work in with specific commands?
We're using the wiki to create manuals, and I want my editors to be able to click a link and create a release version that automatically gets copied to a download directory. The release version is date stamped and the script creates a link to the current version of the manual. I don't want to give them access to the server or have them have to do anything more.
I'll look at maintenance shell again, too, while I'm working on this.
