Features

Note:The replace text operation is a deferred operation and is placed in the job queue. It is possible that the changes are not immediately shown on all affected pages. runJobs.php can be run from the maintenance folder to do the replacement immediately and to process the job queue.

ReplaceText is a MediaWiki extension that provides both a special page and a command line script that allows administrators to search and replace any text in wiki pages and titles across the wiki.

Replacing the text is done in 3 steps on the Special:ReplaceText page:

1. Entering the existing and the new text as well as selecting the namespaces and other options
2. Checking the pages on which the text appears. Possible adjustment of the page selection
3. Performing the replacement.
