Using a shared host without console access is it possible to run populateContentModel.php? Is it possible to enable the extension in another way?

Hi @CostasAthan. This does not sound like something is wrong in the code base (a so-called "software bug"), but instead like a support request (questions how to do something, etc.). As Wikimedia Phabricator is for bug reports and enhancement requests, please ask on the MediaWiki Support Desk or ask on a dedicated project/extension talk page if existing. Thanks for your understanding!

Hi @Aklapper. I was instructed in the past by @Florian to start a new issue in Phabricator about a feature request, which I guess falls in the enhancement category you mentioned, and I hadn't realized Phabricator has a limited spectrum of purposes.
Your message is noted, but I guess my question could be rewritten as a request for a simplified method of installation for those running their wikis in shared servers with limited control of the environment, if that's of course possible.
By the way, after using StructuredDiscussions in this case and encountering some problems (the text I had entered - or maybe big part of the text, I can't recall which of the 2 is the case - disappeared after switching from visual editing to source editing and back), as well as having issues with pasting stuff, while the visual editing was the chosen method of input, plus some issues with my own installation, I decided to drop its use for the time being.

Hi @CostasAthan, yes, makes sense. :) Feel free to rewrite the task summary/description by clicking and reopen (same step, or via the Add Action... → Change Status dropdown) if you would like to turn this into a feature request. Thanks!
