== Overview ==
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace Text is an extension to MediaWiki that creates a new special page,
|
|
|
|
|
Special:ReplaceText, available to administrators only (defined as anyone
|
|
|
|
|
who has 'delete' privileges on pages), that does a text find-and-replace
|
|
|
|
|
on all pages in the wiki, except the Talk pages and the ones in the wiki's
|
|
|
|
|
own project namespace. Only the contents of pages are affected, not their
|
|
|
|
|
titles. The search is case-sensitive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since the replacement is not undoable, if the replacement string is
|
|
|
|
|
blank or a string that is already contained in the wiki, the 'ReplaceText'
|
|
|
|
|
page prompts the user to confirm the replacement before it is performed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each replacement shows up as a wiki edit, with the administrator who
|
|
|
|
|
performed the replacement appearing as the user and an edit summary
|
|
|
|
|
that looks like "Text replace: 'search string' to 'replacement string'".
