Exactly what are you having trouble with? I presume you're writing an extension?

Yes, I'm wrting an extension to create a special page.  I have successfully
created special pages for mediawiki 1.4.x, and I'm slooowly migrating to 1.5,
but I'm STUCK.  I tried following the example on Meta,
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Writing_a_new_special_page and I also looked at
the code mentioned on the talk page, in 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Writing_a_new_special_page#Outdated? 

I can get a new special page to show up in the list of special pages (so I 
guess Addpage() is working?) but when I click it, it says:

"You have requested an invalid special page, a list of valid special pages 
may be found at Special:Specialpages.

Return to Main Page."

And I'm really stumped...

Thanks!
