WikiTips

As of 2019, the wiki has been updated to be a little easier to use. But, for the time being, John Milner has taken up the mantle of administrating the wiki, and fixing it when something seems broken.

We're using the SendGrid extension for email now, but it didn't respect MediaWiki:Emailsender. Here's a quick hack to fix that:

diff --git a/SendGridHooks.php b/SendGridHooks.php
  index c11a1ca..e47db92 100644
  --- a/SendGridHooks.php
  +++ b/SendGridHooks.php

  -               $from = new SendGrid\Email( null, $from->address );
