Thank you for this. I have tried setting my own custom key-value pair (e.g. using $this->getRequest()->setVal( 'reasonConfirm', 1 ); ), but I cannot seem to retrieve it when the page reloads. I've tried both getVal (returns null every time) and getInt (always returns '0') to no avail. Is there a special way to set your own custom variables?

Interestingly, I have also noticed that my return $this-msg() text is no longer displaying at all. When my validation callback is triggered, only the top "There are problems with some of your input." appears. I have checked en.json and can confirm that the message that should be displayed is still present and is properly formatted.

MediaWiki coding conventions is to use the WebRequest object.

In the context of a SpecialPage subclass, you would probably do $this->getRequest()->getVal( 'reason' ); [Note: This combines both POST and GET values]

See https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/classWebRequest.html#a3e... for more details.

Is there a “special” way in mediawiki to get parameters passed by URL or do you just use the conventional PHP way ($_GET)? I am trying to check if “Special:CreateAccount?reason=“ is set/has a value (and what that value is).

Thank you for your assistance, trying to be convention compliant. -TheSandDoctor
