== Overview ==
|
|
|
|
Replace Text is an extension to MediaWiki that creates a new special page,
|
|
Special:ReplaceText, available to anyone who has the 'replacetext'
|
|
privilege, that does a text find-and-replace on all pages in the wiki,
|
|
selectable by namespace. Both the contents of pages and their titles can be
|
|
modified. 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 replacement: 'search string' to 'replacement string'".
|
