To users running MediaWiki 1.31 or earlier:
The instructions above describe the new way of installing this extension using wfLoadExtension()
.

, you need to use:
require_once "$IP/extensions/MyVariables/MyVariables.php";
NoteEdit
- This extension should not be confused with the Variables extension, which allows the use of variables in the computer programming sense.
