Hi everyone! Somebody in the MediaWiki IRC channel on freenode told me to ask my questions in this list, so here I am. I've created an extension that provides two parser functions (only one has got any output). This output is shown in the article, at the place where the parser function is called. Is it possible to place this output not in the article content area, but in the sidebar or the sitenotice? Also, I'd like the admins of the wiki using this extension to be able to change the output layout (divs or tables, bold, italic and so on) without having to edit the extension's php files, for example with a MediaWiki:Somewhat page that would look like this: {| style="..." | $1 |- | style="..." | $2 |} Is this possible?
Best regards, Harmageddon

It's not designed to do that, but I think that through some quirks it can be done.

Sure. You would use wfMsg('somewhat', 'myvar1', 'myvar2') then pass the resulting wikitext to recursiveTagParse (since tags return html).
