Hi,

Looking at documentation about create a new table : https://developer.matomo.org/guides/extending-database

I just copy paste and try : but Common is not found even with \Matomo\Common\ it dion’t work.

It work replacing Matomo by Piwik , checking inclusion : all current plugins sees to use Piwik\Common\

Then it’s just to know

Bug in manual ? Then i can make the pull request
Manual for a develop version (but i just clone current repo)
Another things ?

Thanks you

You are right, there is a bug in the docs.

I think Piwik is automatically replaced with Matomo on the pages and this is too overambitious in that case and breaks the code:

# Extending the database

Plugins can provide persistence for new data if they need to.
As Piwik is currently storing all data in a MySQL database, we learn how to add new tables in the database and how to add a new data column to an existing table.


## Adding new tables

To add new tables to Piwik's MySQL database, execute a `CREATE TABLE` statement in the plugin descriptor's [install](/api-reference/Piwik/Plugin#install) method. For example:

```php
use Piwik\Db;
use Piwik\Common;
use \Exception;

public class MyPlugin extends \Piwik\Plugin
{
