Talk:Managing Plugins

Okay folks, consider this a reminder that the empty pages that link from here need to be found and fixed. Especially the article on Writing Your Own Plugins. Lorelle 13:28, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Settings

How does one setup the plugin so that on the plugins page, once the plugin is activated, it shows

Deactivate | Edit | Settings

My plugin only shows

Deactivate | Edit

I'm probably missing it, but I can't find any info when searching for settings on this Managing Plugins Page.

On Uninstalling Plugins

The current version recommends to just delete the plugin folder. This is not a good solution since a plugin might (and should!) have registered at its uninstallation hook to do cleanup. The proposed way of uninstalling circumvents this neatly, promoting database swamping.

Therefore, this should be changed to describing how to uninstall via the plugin interface. Akerbos87 20:08, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
