This extension isn't installed on any of Wikimedia's projects, it will probably need to go through a procedure (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_an_extension_for_deployment).

@Aklapper Please correct me if I'm wrong with something. Thank you!

Kizule renamed this task from add MyVariables extension in ptwikinews to Add MyVariables extension in ptwikinews.Nov 11 2022, 10:29 AM

That part is fine, but this needs to be done https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_an_extension_for_deployment#Preparing_for_deployment

I used to work for WikiTeq who is maintainer of this extension. I'm unsure if they are interested in deploying this extension into the Wikimedia's production.

Extensions that disable parser cache (like this one) are not allowed to be used on wikimedia sites. (This isn't an official statement, but I'm 100% sure that this task will be declined).

@Edu What is the thing you want to use this extension for? Perhaps there might be some alternative available.

I'm canceling this task. Thanks for the information @Bawolff, I will use another alternative.
