Hey,
At the risk of starting an emacs vs vim like discussion, I'd like to ask if I ought to be using a SpecialPage or an Action in my use case. I want to have an extra tab for a specific type of article that shows some additional information about this article. This view is per article. It does not allow for making modifications to the article. Registering either an action or a special page will result in much the same behaviour for the user, with the exception of the URL structure, which is slightly different. For me as a developer there also is little difference, either I have some thing derive from Action and have 3 lines of code in it or from SpecialPage and have the lines here. Furthermore I've seen both approaches taken, and have taken both myself. So is one approach preferred?
Cheers
