Extension Development with Mediawiki
summary
Shows how to build a working MediaWiki extension that adds inline annotations stored in a new DB table and reachable via custom REST-style endpoints: it uses beforePageDisplay hook to inject a View Annotations tab, implements create/read/update/destroy/search as API modules, loads the client with OKFN annotator JS via ResourceLoader, registers classes with wgAutoloadClasses and creates schema with loadExtensionSchemaUpdates, and demo proves editing and deletion (including for logged‑out users) on article/talk/category pages.
