Early History

These items were recovered from an old version of what was then the only code file.

• 2007-11-23 (Wzl) Writing started
• 2007-11-24 (Wzl) More or less working; doesn't work with _POST data, and I don't understand why not.
• 2007-11-29 (Wzl) Adding variable for defining new title name
• 2008-01-22 (Wzl) Put in some friendly debugging text for when title can't be created
• 2008-06-25 (Wzl) Added "!TIMESTAMP" internal variable, and framework for adding more internal variables
  • Future: If it ever turns out that we really want to be able to base these on the contents of a page, I suggest a syntax like <<@page_name>>. The page would need to be parsed in some cases but possibly not in others; perhaps <<@@page_name>> to indicate the page should be parsed?
• 2008-07-24 (Wzl) Minor tweak so it will work with MW v1.12
• 2008-09-29 (Wzl) - 0.4 - Made keys case-insensitive so it would work again. Don't know why this is suddenly a problem.
• 2009-02-11 (Wzl) clsStringTemplate is now in a separate php file
• 2009-02-13 (Wzl) $wgOptCP_SubstFinish "]" -> "$]" so links and other bracketed stuff don't confuse the var parser
• 2009-02-26 (Wzl) - 0.5 - "$objNewEdit->action = 'submit';" before "->showEditForm()" fixes MW 1.14 problem
• 2009-03-30 (Wzl) - 0.6 - removed unused value $wgOptCP_SubstSetVal
