hooks should

We were talking about something completely
unrelated. Unless MediaWiki supports user deletion and merging, this
should not be in core. The hooks should go in the extension that
provides the functionality.
Hi Ryan,
then I understood you, let's say, partially. Your last sentence
clarifies the situation in that you indirectly confirm, that the
introduction of the two hooks
DeleteAccount and MergeAccountFromTo (in UserMerge and in OpenID
extensions) is -currently- the correct and only way.
Questions, because I could not learn this from the Core documentation,
hook related pages:
- Are the hook names I introduced, and the coding of the hooks in
conformity to your MW coding standards?
- Should these (non-core) extensions' hooks get also dedicated
description pages on MW?
When you visit the Extension:UserMerge and Extension:OpenID pages you
will find two Categorie links in red. I am unsure to create these pages,
because the hooks are not in core but in the extensions.
Perhaps someone can write about this (it's a style and coding standards'
issue, I think) on MW?
Thanks for assisting me so far.

P.S. is there anyone already using the current OpenID extension, I need
your feedback. If you find problems, I appreciate to file a bug under
