[edit] Purpose

Allows users to add META and LINK tags to an individual page's HEAD coding. This extension still allows the mediawiki page to be parser cached.

[edit] Examples

  • {{#meta: Content-Type | text/html; charset=utf-8 }}
  • {{#link: stylesheet | text/css | theme.css }}

[edit] Usage

[edit] Meta

{{#meta: HTTP-EQUIV | CONTENT [| NAME] }}

Where the first parameter corresponds the the http-equiv attribute, the second to the content attribute and the optional third corresponds to the name attribute.

Any field can be left blank and thus won't be included. Example:

{{#meta: | noindex,nofollow | robots }}

Will produce <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" >

[edit] Link

{{#link: rel | type | href }}

Consult User Jldupont's page.

  1. ↑ The most recent release is always available through the extension's PEAR and SVN repositories. This page is not necessarily up-to-date.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 Extension:ExtensionManager does not require any modification to LocalSettings.php because ExtensionManager includes the extension.
    Note that if PHP code caching is in place (e.g. APC, eAccelerator), then to successfully complete the installation a cache flush might be needed.
  3. ↑ Modifications to LocalSettings.php is only necessary if not using Extension:ExtensionManager
