Purpose[edit]
Substitute < tag > sections with MediaWiki templates.
Examples[edit]
Example 1[edit]
<etag>some data here</etag> would be translated to {{etag||some data here}}.
Example 2[edit]
<etag params here>some data here</etag> would be translated to {{etag|params here|some data here}}.
Features[edit]
- Secure: only users that have access to the 'MediaWiki' namespace can change the tag mapping
- Tag mapping are configured through the parser function
#tag_to_template - Tag mapping table is located on the page MediaWiki:Registry/TagToTemplate
Usage[edit]
- Configure the page MediaWiki:Registry/TagToTemplate with the mapping table.
To do so, use the parser function to list all the required mappings.
Example[edit]
Here is a sample MediaWiki:Registry/TagToTemplate page:
Handle 'etag' tags; 'etag' sections will be substituted with {{template_etag|[optional params]|...text here...}}
{{#tag_to_template:etag|template_etag}}
Handle 'php' tags; 'php' sections will be substituted with {{php|[optional params]|...text here...}}
{{#tag_to_template:php|php}}

- ↑ The most recent release is always available through the extension's PEAR and SVN repositories. This page is not necessarily up-to-date.
- ↑ 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. - ↑ Modifications to
LocalSettings.phpis only necessary if not using Extension:ExtensionManager
