Ah, okay, that's good. I'll ask for a repo once I get all the features implemented. :)
BTW, how do I get people to find/install the extension in their wikis once I get the stuff done? I forget which task it was, but I think I saw some tasks on phabricator mentioning that they needed an extension that showed protection icons. (which was part of my motivation for writing this)

Hi,
The first two questions were actually intended to be implementation questions, specifically on whether it is possible to implement the two features that I thought about ?
However, now that you mentioned it, it certainly would be great if some experienced contributors could co-maintain and help me with creating the extension.
Also, by official extension I mean like the extensions that have a page
on
the MediaWiki wiki and are hosted on Gerrit. :)
Anyone can create a page for an extension and you can also request for your extension to be hosted on Gerrit - it helps a lot of if you are looking at localisation of the extension. Nothing official here here, however if there is something official it would probably mean the extension is used on one of the Wikimedia wikis.

Hi guys, I'm Sohom Datta.
I recently decided to create a draft for an hypothetical extension ProtectionIndicator, which will add a protection icon on the top of
every
protected page. I did this primarily out of my own interest in
getting
familiar with the code-base of MediaWiki.
I've hosted all the code I have written (still unfinished) in this
github
repository < http://github.com/sohomdatta1/ProtectionIndicator
.
I'd like some guidance on how to implement the unfinished parts of
the
extension especially the integration with FlaggedRevs and the
addition
of a
log entry to a popup ( Details are there in the readme.md of the
repo)
.
Also any feedback on my code would also be very good.
Is this a call for potentially interested co-maintainers? Or do you have specific implementation questions to share?
Also, it would be great if somebody could guide me on how to make
this
a
official extension someday.
Could you elaborate what "official" means, and what you expect from it?
