- * SpecialPage: handling special pages and lists thereof
- * $wgSpecialPages is a list of all SpecialPage objects. These objects are
- * either instances of SpecialPage or a sub-class thereof. They have an
- * execute() method, which sends the HTML for the special page to $wgOut.
- * The parent class has an execute() method which distributes the call to
- * the historical global functions. Additionally, execute() also checks if the
- * user has the necessary access privileges and bails out if not.
+ * SpecialPage: handling special pages and lists thereof.
  *
- * To add a special page at run-time, use SpecialPage::addPage().
- * DO NOT manipulate this array at run-time.
+ * To add a special page in an extension, add to $wgSpecialPages either 
+ * an object instance or an array containing the name and constructor 
+ * parameters. The latter is preferred for performance reasons. 
  *
- * @package MediaWiki
- * @subpackage SpecialPage
+ * The object instantiated must be either an instance of SpecialPage or a 
+ * sub-class thereof. It must have an execute() method, which sends the HTML

+ * and bails out if not.
+ *

+ * SpecialPage::$mList. To remove a core static special page at runtime, use
+ * a SpecialPage_initList hook.
