Hi all,
I am interested in changing up the search -> creation page functionality of my personal mediawiki install. I have added a table into the my wiki DB that I would like to check against before allowing users to add pages to the wiki. For example, let's say I was making a nintendo game wiki , and had a table with all of the games nintendo ever created. I would like users to only be able to add and edit a page that matched up with the title of the game that resides in the db table. I would like a search to return close matches (LIKE) and only allow users to select one of the options returned. This would of course have to also manage the user manually entering a create string in the URL.
For those much more knowledgeable please point me in the right direction for the cleanest way of doing this.
Thanks in advance for the help.
