Hi everyone,
I would like to add a new special page and so I've been trying to setup the BoardVote special page in my mediawiki installation as a test, but I haven't been able to make it work. I've used the instructional page on MetaWiki (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Writing_a_new_special_page) but it appears that there have been changes to how special pages are added to MediaWiki that aren't on this page. From what I read I think that only one file is required to add a special page and that it goes in the extensions directory.
I tried putting BoardVote.php (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/extensions/BoardVote/BoardVo...) in the extensions directory of my MediaWiki installation, but it still did not show up in my Wiki's list of special pages.
Could anyone help me find what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Andrew.

Did you include it from LocalSettings.php?

Thank you, I didn't include it in LocalSettings.php, it works now! Sorry, I suppose this was a bit of a silly mistake. Thank you for the help.
Andrew.
