I recommend using the MW 1.22.4 tarball to base this on. The MW 1.22.3

are the wrong branch and
produce errors, assuming you're using the Cite
extension that was bundled
with the 1.22.3 tarball..
I've upgraded my MW installation and the extensions, but the problem
remains. I would guess it's to do with passing references vs values, or
there is some MediaWiki-specific thing that I am not aware of.
Perhaps someone can help me sort out the syntax for writing an event
handler that modifies an existing value.
Here's where the hook is called:
wfRunHooks( 'CiteBeforeStackEntry', array( &$str, &$key, &$call ) );
Here's the hook:
$wgHooks['CiteBeforeStackEntry'][] = 'wfProcessCite';
Here's the function:
function wfProcessCite( $str, $key, $call ){
...
I want to change the value of $str, but leave $key and $call unchanged.
Can someone indicate the correct syntax?
Thank you!

Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you,
