This provides a template to create new MediaWiki extension using the cookiecutter project.
After installing cookiecutter, run:
cookiecutter gh:wikimedia/mediawiki-tools-cookiecutter-extension
For example, the following would create the folder `mediawiki-extensions-UserWatch`, for an extension named `UserWatch` that
- requires MediaWiki 1.39 or later to run
- adds a new user right, `watch-users` (granted to administrators by default)
- creates a special page, `Special:WatchUser`
- has a database schema that should be applied (the actual schema would still
need to be created)
- is licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later
