I can't duplicate this on a 1.12.0 installation.  This extension code calls the hook function and dies properly.

$wgHooks['SpecialPage_initList'][] = 'testInitList';

function testInitList(&$list ) {
    die('initList hook is being called.');
}

Is your problem that the hook function is never being called or that you can't manipulate the $list parameter?

I have no idea...I set up pretty much the same hook that you did and it never got executed. :(

None of the extensions I have implemented are using this hook, but there may be a conflict elsewhere.  Let me take a look and see if can isolate this to an extension

Thanks for looking at it.  Please leave this open for now.  :)

Let's close this for now.  I haven't been able to reproduce the error, so I have to assume it was something I did on my end.

Sorry :)
