Extension:AddThis

The AddThis extension adds an AddThis widget to the sidebar and the upper right corner of articles - just below the article's title and the site's tagline. This allows you to have things like Facebook's "Like" or "Recommend" button, a button for Tweeting, Google +'ing, etc.

Usage
By default, the sidebar is set to appear on all pages.

By default, the toolbar will appear in the header of all articles in a content namespace.

Using the  tag, you can:
 * Display the toolbar on pages in non-content namespaces
 * Display the toolbar when it has been disabled in LocalSetting.php
 * Display the toolbar on places other than the page header

Installation
Works best with MediaWiki 1.19 or newer (due to sporadic problems loading in MW 1.17-1.18). MediaWiki 1.17 or newer is however a minimum requirement (due to usage of ResourceLoader).

Configuration
For example, you can disable the article header toolbar by adding this to LocalSettings.php:
 * Configure as required.

While it does not appear to be required, it is highly recommended that you register an AddThis account and enter your user/profile id number to LocalSettings.php :

Common service codes
Here are a list of commonly used service codes you can use in the above ['service'] parameters:

Known to not work

 * pinterest
 * Image, rather than content, oriented and so hard to implement for a wiki
 * Will investigate further if there's interest - possibly for displaying just on File pages?

Release notes

 * 1.0.1 : Support for AddThis Address Bar Sharing
 * Additional code clean-up
 * Switched from reddit as a preferred service to digg

 * 1.0: Stable release
 * 1.0f : Moved to Wikimedia Subversion server
 * Switched to using arrays per feedback - ty Johnduhart!
