Extension:WikiSEO/de-formal

The WikiSEO extension allows you to replace, append or prepend the HTML title tag content. It also allows you to add common SEO (Search Engine Optimization) meta elements such as "keywords" and "description".

A working job queue is absolutely required for this extension to function.

Usage
The extension can be used via the  parser function or in Lua modules by using. It accepts the following named parameters in any order.

Do note that the Citation generator is not activated by default! To activate the generator add the following snippet to : $wgMetadataGenerators[] = "Citation";

Adding dynamic values
If you need to include variables or templates you should use the parser function to ensure they are properly parsed. This allows you to use Cargo or Semantic MediaWiki, with Page Forms, for data entry, or for programmatic creation of a page title from existing variables or content...

Usage in lua modules
-- Module:SEO local seo = {}

-- argTable format: { title_mode = 'append',  title = 'Example Seo Wiki',  keywords = 'WikiSEO, SEO, MediaWiki',  -- ... } -- function seo.set( argTable ) mw.ext.seo.set( argTable ) end

function seo.setStatic mw.ext.seo.set{ title_mode = 'append', title = 'Example Seo Wiki', keywords = 'WikiSEO, SEO, MediaWiki', } end

return seo

The module would now be callable as  or.

Maintenance Script
WikiSEO provides a maintenance script to generate descriptions for specified pages. This script requires Extension:TextExtracts to be installed and active. The script will only generate descriptions for pages that don't have a  property set in the page properties table.

You can force the generation using the  flag, this will overwrite any description already present.

A list of namespace ids needs to be given in order for the script to work: php maintenance/GenerateDescription.php 0
 * 1) Run only in main namespace

php maintenance/GenerateDescription.php --force 0
 * 1) Run only in main namespace and overwrite existing descriptions

php maintenance/GenerateDescription.php --force --cleanSentence 1234
 * 1) Run in namespace 1234, overwrite descriptions and remove dangling sentences

Configuration
The following variables are in use by this extension.

Set a default image to use if no image is set on the site. If this variable is not set the site's logo will be used.

Usage:.

Array containing the metadata generator names to load.

Default:.

If you only want to change the page title and add 'description', 'keywords', 'robots' tags set

Disable setting $wgLogo as a fallback image if no image for a page was set.

Defaults to `summary_large_image` for the twitter card type.

Usage: $wgTwitterCardType = 'summary';

An array of page titles where a 'noindex' robot tag should be added. Usage: $wgWikiSeoNoindexPageTitles = [ 'Custom_Title', 'Main_Page' ];

A default language code with area to generate a  for.

Usage: $wgWikiSeoDefaultLanguage = 'de-de';

If no description was given in the parser function, a short description from Extension:TextExtracts will be requested. A description will only be set, if the page is edited and saved. Alternatively the maintenance script  can be run from the extension folder.

Tries to remove dangling sentences from the description provided by TextExtracts. This will remove the last sentence not ending in a '.', and will result in descriptions shorter than 160 characters.
