   5 If you are a developer, you want to fetch the extension tree in another
   6 directory and make a symbolic link:
   7
   8  mediawiki/extensions$ ln -s ../../extensions-trunk/FooBarExt
   9
  10 The extensions are available through svn at:
  11     http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/
  12
  13 You can find documentation and additional extensions on MediaWiki website:
  14     http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Extensions

  17 Please note that under POSIX systems (Linux...), parent of a symbolic path
  18 refers to the link source, NOT to the target! If you need to include a
  19 file from mediawiki/, you will want to set and use MW_INSTALL_PATH env.
  20
  21  $IP = getenv( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' );  // points to mediawiki/
  22  require( "$IP/maintenance/Maintenance.php" ); // a MediaWiki file
