Request for the Character Escapes extension[edit]

Home-page
http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Character_Escapes
Type
MediaWiki extension
Additional software requirements
None
Additional server-side maintenance requirements
Only the installation.
Reason for request
The Character Escapes extensions helps to use the Variables extension in a better and more gentle way as it would allow to pre-check specific parameters and then set multiple variables without the need to check everything again; at the moment this is not possible.
Possible pitfalls
As the Character Escapes extension introduces several specific commands not beeing structured as parser extensions or other known wiki syntax, there is a small chance that some articles may use those combinations. In this case they would be displayed not as intended, but this could be easily fixed by simply replacing those combinations from the articles.
