   4 You can find a list of extensions and documentation at

   8 If you are a developer, you might want to fetch the extension tree in another
   9 directory and make a symbolic link:
  10
  11  mediawiki/extensions$ ln -s ../../extensions-trunk/FooBar
  12
  13 Most extensions are available through Git:
  14     https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MEXT/
  15
  16
  17 Please note that under POSIX systems (Linux...), parent of a symbolic path
  18 refers to the link source, NOT to the target! You should check the env
  19 variable MW_INSTALL_PATH in case the extension is not in the default location.
  20
  21 The following code snippet lets you override the default path:
  22
  23  $IP = getenv( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' );
  24  if( $IP === false ) {
  25         $IP = __DIR__ . '/../..';
  26  }
  27  require_once "$IP/maintenance/Maintenance.php"; // a MediaWiki core file
