[edit] Purpose
Provides a means of including wikitext content which is visible on one site but removed on another.
[edit] Example
Suppose one has an extension which provides extended parser functionality. The extension's description must be published on MediaWiki and on the target site (i.e. the site where the extension is used); it is quite possible that MediaWiki won't provide the said extension so including some live examples on the description page would prove difficult. The said live examples can thus be enclosed with the special markers provided by this extension whilst providing transparent support on MediaWiki.org.
[edit] Usage
Just include the comments to be displayed between the <!--{{ }}--> markers.
[edit] Dependencies
[edit] Installation
See the Mediawiki Extension table entry "download" above.[1]
[edit] LocalSettings.php
Extension:ExtensionManager: See footnote[2]
- Add the following to LocalSettings.php, if the extension was downloaded from Jean-Lou Dupont's MediaWiki SVN directory (link in the download entry of the table above)[2]:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/VersaComment/VersaComment.php" );
- Since this Extensions is depending on StubManager, add the line after the StubManager include, or else your Wiki won't work.

- ↑ 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
