Thanks. When I added $articleID= Parser::getArticleID(); to my extension code, I got a blank page. I guess I need to declare some other global variable or so... Wht should be that?

In an extension function, i want to check whether the current page is new or already existing. which function i can call to get that info?

Parser::getArticleID(), or something like that. A new page will have an ID of 0, existing pages will have positive IDs. (I think.)
