mediawiki-extension -- README?

[sparcc@gmx.net]

Hi, 

I'm trying to install extensions using the 'mediawiki-extensions' package.

There does not appear to be a 'README' in the package
http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/mediawiki-extensions/filelist

... and after searching the web... I could just come-up with:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2008-04/msg00936.html
Which basically says that... debian has a non-standard way of doing things here.

I've installed extensions in another install (of Mediawiki) independent of the debian package.

It is explained here for 'Cite': 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php

It involved downloading the extension and a couple of commands at the command line:
----
$ tar zvxf Cite-MW1.12-r33026.tar.gz
# cp -r Cite /var/www/wiki/extensions/
# cp ExtensionFunctions.php /var/www/wiki/extensions/

# locate LocalSettings.php
/var/www/wiki/LocalSettings.php

# vi /var/www/wiki/LocalSettings.php
--------------
# added the following...
require_once('extensions/Cite/Cite.php');
--------------
----

The Debian package 'mediawiki-extensions' has no README.

Based on '/etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions.php' it looks like
extensions have to be copied into '/etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions-enabled/'

It looks like one has to do the following...
# cp /etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions-available/Cite.php /etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions-enabled/

Is there more documentation somewhere?

Thanks,
Michael
