[edit] Purpose

Provides per-namespace specific text preloading upon page creation.

[edit] Usage

Place the preload text on a per-namespace basis in the page following the pattern MediaWiki:PreloadManager/$namespace$ where $namespace$ is the canonical name of the desired namespace.

The text to be included must be enclosed in a <includeonly> tag section. Additional text can be included outside the said section for, as example, documentation purpose.

[edit] Example

To configure preload text for the NS_TEMPLATE namespace (aka Template), place the preload text in the page MediaWiki:PreloadManager/Template.

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
