Thank you for this. I have tried setting my own custom key-value pair (e.g. using
$this->getRequest()->setVal( 'reasonConfirm', 1 ); ), but I cannot seem
to retrieve it when the page reloads. I've tried both getVal (returns null every time)
and getInt (always returns '0') to no avail. Is there a special way to set your
own custom variables?
Interestingly, I have also noticed that my return $this-msg() text is no longer displaying
at all. When my validation callback is triggered, only the top "There are problems
with some of your input." appears. I have checked en.json and can confirm that the
message that should be displayed is still present and is properly formatted.

Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] URL parameter fetching (mediawiki)
MediaWiki coding conventions is to use the WebRequest object.
In the context of a SpecialPage subclass, you would probably do
$this->getRequest()->getVal( 'reason' ); [Note: This combines both POST
and GET values]
See
https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/classWebRequest.html#a3…
for more details.

or do you just use the conventional PHP way ($_GET)? I am trying to
check if “Special:CreateAccount?reason=“ is set/has a value (and what that value is).
Thank you for your assistance, trying to be convention compliant.
