Access: $wgAllowPageInfo
Allow the "info" action.
Introduced in version: 1.3.0 (r4247)
Removed in version: 1.19
Allowed values: (boolean)
Default value: false

Other settings: Alphabetical | By Function


Details [edit]

This setting, if enabled, allows users to get some extra information about the page by specifying "action=info" in the URL.

The setting has been phased out with MediaWiki 1.20 (bug 38451).

For example, entering http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki?action=info might generate the following (fictional) output instead of the main page contents:

Information for "Main Page"

Information for page
Page Talk page
Edits
Number of edits 99 20
Number of distinct authors 7 3
Watchlist
Number of watchers 3

Currently you have to add the action manually to the URL, as there is no link to this page regardless of the value of this setting. See bug 16362.

Note that on Wikimedia servers (e.g. Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc.) this function is disabled, as it is very inefficient and because it allows potential vandals an easy way to find unwatched targets.
