- <translate> [[<tvar name=2>Special:ExtensionDistributor/MaintenanceShell</tvar>|Download]] and move the extracted <tvar name=name>
MaintenanceShell</tvar> folder to your <tvar name=ext>extensions/</tvar> directory.</translate>
<translate> Developers and code contributors should install the extension [[<tvar name=git>Special:MyLanguage/Download from Git</tvar>|from Git]] instead, using:</translate>cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/MaintenanceShell - <translate> Add the following code at the bottom of your <tvar name=1>LocalSettings.php</tvar> file:</translate>
wfLoadExtension( 'MaintenanceShell' );

- File:OOjs UI icon check-constructive.svg <translate> Done</translate> – <translate> Navigate to <tvar name=special>Special:Version</tvar> on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.</translate>
Configuration
Parameters
- $wgMaintenanceShellPath
- By default the extension lists maintenance scripts of MediaWiki core. Change this path to a different directory if you'd like to list different scripts instead (of a certain extension for example).
User rights
| File:OOjs UI icon notice-warning.svg | Do not grant rights to the MaintenanceShell lightly. Maintenance scripts are powerful tools which can have a significant impact on your wiki. They are implemented as command line scripts instead of Special pages because they are irreversible and leave no trace. |
maintenanceshell- This right (for security reasons not assigned to any group by default) grants the right to use Special:MaintenanceShell.
// Grant access to Special:MaintenanceShell to the "developer" user group:
$wgGroupPermissions['developer']['maintenanceshell'] = true;
# Or
// Create a new "maintenanceshell" user group for Special:MaintenanceShell:
$wgGroupPermissions['maintenanceshell']['maintenanceshell'] = true;
Usage
Go to page Special:MaintenanceShell
