See the Mediawiki Extension table entry "download" above.[1]

LocalSettings.php[edit]

  • Install extension through PEAR:
pear install mediawiki/ParserExt
  • Add the following to LocalSettings.php[2][3]:

  • Note that the required version of PEAR must be respected. Currently, the minimum version of PEAR usable with this channel is v1.6.2. Perform the following command to upgrade to the latest version of PEAR:
pear upgrade pear

Upgrades through PEAR[edit]

or use the force method:

pear upgrade --force mediawiki/ParserExt

Notes[edit]

Other Extensions From the same author[edit]

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
