[Mediawiki-l] Re: blog extension

[John Yu]

Hi François,

I see. That means the extension embeds pages that are in a category and 
filtered by the reverse-link. This is very similar to {{templates}}, 
except that the control is inverted -- the page being included has the 
say if it wants to be included.

That's cool! I can now see how this can be used in blog-oriented pages. 
Great work, François!
