[edit] What can this extension do?

Generates the META description tag based on your definition. The extension includes the interface for pointing to the associated description page upon editing pages. Talk pages are ignored.

[edit] Usage

Once the extension is installed, simply edit any page in any namespace and you'll get a box pointing to the article's description page. Conversely, editing the description page shows a box pointing back to the associated article.

[edit] Download instructions

See the download link in the infobox to the right. Uncompress in your installation's extensions folder; Windows users can uncompress tarballs with 7zip.

[edit] Installation

To install this extension, download and uncompress it (see above), and add the following to LocalSettings.php:

require_once("$IP/extensions/ExplicitDescription/ExplicitDescription.php");

[edit] Notes

  • If you don't like the appearance of the description box edit extensions/ExplicitDescription/ExplicitDescription.css
  • Do not include any markup in the description!
  • If you have to localize the messages take a look at extensions/ExplicitDescription/ExplicitDescription.i18n.php
