[edit] Installation

  1. Create a new folder (directory) in the following location:
    wiki-install-folder/extensions/ContributorsAddon
  2. Download the following files:
  3. Copy the files in to the new ContributorsAddon folder
  4. Add the following code to your LocalSettings.php (at the bottom)
require_once( "$IP/extensions/ContributorsAddon/ContributorsAddon.php" );

OR:

  1. Go to the extensions folder: cd wiki-instal-folder/extensions
  2. Get files from SVN: svn co http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ContributorsAddon
  3. Add the following code to your LocalSettings.php (at the bottom)
require_once( "$IP/extensions/ContributorsAddon/ContributorsAddon.php" );

[edit] Usage

Does not interfere with the core functionality of the Contributors Extension - when JavaScript is supported, moving your mouse over the 'Main Contributors' link will cause a popup DIV to be displayed containing the most prominent contributors to an article.

See the Contributors Extension for available configuration settings.
