Details

• &$sktemplate: SkinTemplate object
• &$links: Structured navigation links

This hook is called just prior to displaying the page navigation links on a Special Page. By modifying &$links you can change the text of the "Special Page" link along with adding other links to the bar.

Default value of $links

[
	'namespaces' => [
		'special' => [
			'class' => 'selected',
			'text' => 'Special page',
			'href' => '/wiki/Special:SpecialPageName',
			'context' => 'subject',
		],
	],
	'views' =>  [],
	'actions' =>  [],
	'variants' =>  [],
]

The following code changes "Special Page" to "My Page" and adds a link to Google.

$links['namespaces']['special']['text'] = 'My Page';

$links['namespaces']['google']['text'] = 'Google';
$links['namespaces']['google']['href'] = 'http://www.google.com/';
