A bit late, but I wrote a script[1] to do this today, since I didn't want to manually create a page for the hook I added to core today[2]. It's not totally perfect, [3] doesn't look that nice, and it's not smart enough to figure out things like the type of an object based on reading the text. > If someone were to write a bot that would comment on the changeset after it > was merged linking to hook and $wgFoo manual pages that probably need > updating, that would serve as a useful reminder. If people like this script, we could have a bot automatically create a stub page on mw.o when the change is merged, and then a human can fix it up. -- Legoktm [1] https://github.com/legoktm/mwhooks/blob/master/create_onwiki.py [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/GetLogTypesOnUser [3] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/WikiPageDeletionUpdates _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
