canasta maintenance extension

Run extension maintenance scripts

Synopsis

Run maintenance scripts provided by loaded MediaWiki extensions.

With no arguments, lists all loaded extensions that have a maintenance/ directory. With one argument (extension name), lists available maintenance scripts for that extension. With two or more arguments (extension name, script name, and optional script arguments), runs the specified script.

Flags (-i, --wiki, --all) must come before the extension name. Everything after the extension name is treated as the script and its arguments — no quotes are needed.

Only extensions that are currently loaded (enabled) for the target wiki are shown and allowed to run. In a wiki farm, use --wiki to target a specific wiki, or --all to run on every wiki. If there is only one wiki, it is selected automatically.
