[edit] Usage
When you enter
<seo title="word1,word2,..." metakeywords="word1,word2,..." metadescription="word1,word2,..." />
...or the shorter...
<seo title="word1,word2,..." metak="word1,word2,..." metad="word1,word2,..." />
in a wiki-article some words are added to the html title and meta headers. This makes SEO (search engine optimization) with MediaWiki easier.
For example, the above would become:
<title>Original title, word1,word2,...</title> (the string ", word1,word2,..." is added)
<meta name="keywords" content="word1,word2,..." />
(this is a new meta tag - existing metas are left untouched)
[edit] How I did it
This extension uses two MediaWiki hooks - OutputPageBeforeHTML (for meta) and BeforePageDisplay (for title addition).
I've expanded the code of Extension:MetaKeywordsTag and due to the more capabilities of my version I decided to create a new extension. One day it may become the standard way for MediaWiki SEO, who knows :)

[edit] Changelog
[edit] v0.4
- have put
$emt="";in the parseSEO function because I got some nasty PHP notice for an unitialised variable...
[edit] v0.2
- added htmlspecialchars() as a filter to the text that is displayed in the title and meta - anything else needed to prevent malicious people? I think no. (If you are an English speaker you may want to use the htmlentities PHP function, which is more restrictive)
[edit] v0.1
- Initital version - everything works.
