Topic on Manual talk:Extension registration

Hello,

Special:Specialpages crashes (in SpecialPageFactory.php/getPage()/"$page = new $className;") if there are comments (like "@doc": "Something") under "SpecialPages" array in extension.json. It seems keys starting with "@" are not as filtered as this page suggests...

"@" is only ignored in the top level structure, or under the "config" key.

@Legoktm, I rephrased the Retaining documentation section (and added an example). Looking at Gather's extension.json, it seems you can also add a comment under a ResourceModules.extmodulename key

Thanks. Re: Gather, that only works because ResourceLoader is ignoring the unknown parameter, I wouldn't depend upon it. The extension registry is still loading and caching that value on each request unlike "@" keys in top-level/config which are ignored in the parsing stage.
