Does somebody know how to fix it? If it was an extension that broke the wiki, I don't know which one.

@NormalRichard: Is this the same issue that you reported at the support desk? Generally, it's best to just create one thread so that the discussion isn't fragmented.

Here, the error is that the database table 'vellewmy_objectshowpedia.objectshowpediaecho_event' doesn't exist, which is for the Echo extension. You probably need to run the update script.

I've already set up a new special page to generate a specific setting string of my extension, but I can't find a way to submit the generated setting to user's preferences, should I use mediawiki PHP api, How?

Corrected.

A list item in Manual talk:Extensions#Installing_an_extension #Installing an extension ends in two full stops.

#'''<translate><!--T:38--> Install your extension.</translate>'''.

should be

#'''<translate><!--T:38--> Install your extension.</translate>'''

Good catch. Thank you for the info. I just corrected the typo.

Is there a good place where notable new extensions are highlighted?

Not that I know of. It is a matter of chance to discover new extensions.

It would be a good idea include an online "vote" system in the own extension, to deciede the best ones / or the most asked for when they are finally created. BoldLuis (talk) 12:20, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Is there a quick way (maybe via Gerrit search) to list all pending patches for all extensions at once on the Gerrit interface?

This will ensure one doesn't go through extensions one at a time when reviewing patches. I think there is already a list somewhere to see all extensions but not sure if one can see their open patch sets for code review.

I think having this will really ease code review of all extensions at once. Thanks!

@X-Savitar: You can search projects by regex by prefixing a caret, so to search all non-WIP extension patches you could use status:open project:^mediawiki/extensions/.* -is:wip

What means function in an extension? (definition of the word in this context of extension and utility, for what it is used) . For example, invoke: is a function in the extension Scribunto. BoldLuis (talk) 12:16, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Extensions that come with MediaWiki installation - they are not enabled, correct? So if i want to remove them, i check the special page and see they are not enabled (edit), so i can remove their respective folder from the server, and no problem will occur?

If they are not enabled you can indeed delete the respective folders.

When I update an extension by replacing its contents in extensions/ the verison displayed in Special:Version does not update (still shows the previous version), even though this no longer matches the contents of extensions/Extension/version. Is this related to registration? Is there a way to force it up update? Thanks.

Is there somewhere that I can find Extensions for MediaWiki versions other than 1.36, 1.35, and 1.31? I'm looking for 1.33 extensions specifically, as neither the 1.31, 1.35, or 1.36 version of Labelled Section Transclusion seem to work.
