Manual talk:Variable

Problems with variables example code

I've hit a couple problems with the example code on this page.

Firstly, the file listed on this line seems to be incorrect:

$wgExtensionMessagesFiles['ExampleMagic'] = dirname(__FILE__) . '/Parser_function.i18n.magic.php';
// should be '/Example.i18n.magic.php';

But even after fixing that, I run into this problem:

Magic word 'mycustomvar1' not found

Backtrace:

#17 /usr/share/mediawiki/index.php(116): MediaWiki->initialize(Object(Title), Object(Article), Object(OutputPage), Object(User), Object(WebRequest))
#18 {main}

which is caused by this line:

       $customVariableIds[] = 'mycustomvar1';
