[Mediawiki-l] Getting started - echo type stuff disabled?

[Rob Church]

Output is handled through our output buffering class; see
OutputPage.php. Within an extension, one can use the global $wgOut,
then call functions to add HTML and wikitext to the output page.

Writing to the debug log can be done with wfDebug().
