Detection of extensions
Hi, I am wondering how you detect the extensions used on wikis? Does it happen automatically or does the Wiki has to do something to prepare for detection? Cheers --kgh 08:14, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- We change the Special:Recentchanges URL to Special:Statistics?action=raw and see where it redirects to. RobiH 18:21, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- Cool. By doing so you can detect the extensions in use on specific a wiki? I thought that Special:Statistics is only there for statistics. --kgh 18:56, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- I got you wrong. I thought you meant URL extensions, but actually you meant Server extensions. The Server extensions in use on a specific wiki you will find on each Special:Version and scrolling down. RobiH 15:34, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- And I was thinking and thinking how you do this... Actually I know there to find the list of installed extensions of a wiki. Luckily that is not the "problem". I am more interested to find out how you gather this information an add it to a list like, e. g. this one. Is there something a wiki admin has to do, to make it easier for you to detect them?
