Re: [Mediawiki-l] Hook request for EditPage.php

I'd like to request a hook addition for EditPage.php. I'm working on some extensions to modify the user interface for the edit page in MediaWiki (specifically, to present the user with data form fields in addition to the standard Mediawiki free-form edit box. The information captured in the data fields will be saved in the article created in a template format and displayed using a template specific for the data). EditPage.php has a hook at the very beginning of the source code; however, I'd like to leverage the existing code as much as possible without having to use an "include" statement or recreate the code in my extension. I'm currently modifying EditPage.php to place a hook at the end of the EditPage::edit() function, right above this line: $this->showEditForm(); That is similar in function to the one at the beginning of the function: if ( ! wfRunHooks( 'AlternateEdit', array( &$this ) ) ) return; but calling it 'AlternateEditForm' instead. It functions in a similar manner. This allows me to leverage the existing code in EditPage:edit(). Ideally, I'd like to place this even further down, but I haven't found a better place for it yet. If this could be formally added to the MediaWiki source code without requiring users to modify it, that would be wonderful! Thanks for your consideration .
