==Managed Customization==
MediaWiki will include the contents of [[mediawiki:Common.css]], if found, in the CSS code it uses for defining the appearance of its pages. (The initial character in "Common" does not seem to be case-sensitive, even if the site has the initial-caps flag turned off.)

==Code Notes==
''(From [[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 20:59, 15 Jun 2005 (CDT). Eventually to be given their own section, I expect.)''
*Everything obviously starts with [[index.php (MediaWiki)|index.php]]
*For the purpose of displaying a page (not saving changes or doing anything else), this calls $wgArticle->view(), in [[Article.php (MediaWiki)|Article.php]] (line 699)
*$wgArticle->view() appears to be able to provide a few other formats besides the regular view (including difference engine and displaying redirections as subtitles), but I'm ignoring that for now
*$wgOut seems to be the object which accumulates text to be output, via various methods:
**$wgOut->addWikiText(...)
**$wgOut->addHTML(...)
**$wgOut->addPrimaryWikiText() # Display content and save to parser cache
**$wgOut->addWikiText() # Display content, don't attempt to save to parser cache
**$wgOut->setPageTitle()
**$wgOut->transformBuffer(); # Put link titles into the link cache
**$wgOut->addMetaTags(); # Add link titles as META keywords
*...and then it does these two lines:
**$this->viewUpdates(); ''(found at line 1926 -- doesn't do much)''
**wfProfileOut( $fname );
*It's not clear whether the navbar has already been pulled in by the time we hit viewUpdates -- possibly transformBuffer does it? The comment makes it sound like that, but the name "transformBuffer" in that case is not very descriptive. The code in there should probably be examined.

[[Category:Radio Shows]]
{{stub}}
The Doctor Demento Show is a two-hour-long syndicated radio program featuring comedy and unusual music. Dr. Demento was among the first to play Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London", the first to play Weird Al Yankovic, and is pretty much the only way to hear "Fish Heads" on the radio.

==Controversy Over Listings==
Apparently Talonian Productions, the company which syndicates his show refuses to divulge a list of radio stations which carry the show, to the extent that they will not even allow such a list to be posted on the Doctor's official web site. There appears to be a strong consensus that this is due to some variety of short-sighted self-interest on their part, but it is not at all clear how they benefit (even in the short term) from this policy.
