Extension:RelatedArticles

The RelatedArticles extension adds a parser function to your wikitext that allows to associate related articles to your article. It can be configured to show the associated related articles as a list of links in a sidebar on desktop, or as a list of articles and their descriptions at the bottom of a page on desktop and mobile. The extension is also smart enough to get the list of related articles using the morelike feature of CirrusSearch.



Usage
Once installed Related articles will be determined algorithmically based on Cirrus Search if available with no additional steps. Alternatively, you can manually add related articles like so:

Installation

 * RelatedArticles depends on the Extension:Cards. Install and configure it before installing RelatedArticles.

Configuration

 * Set the event logging sampling rate   using a number between 0 and 1.
 * Show related articles at the bottom of the page by setting  &   to.
 * Use morelike feature of CirrusSearch by setting  to  . If CirrusSearch is not available fallback to using the related articles marked in wikitext.
 * Use only CirrusSearch's morelike feature by setting  to   ignoring the related articles marked in wikitext.
 * List of skin names (e.g. 'minerva', 'vector') where related articles won't be shown in the footer. If a skin key is absent related articles will show on that skin. For example on a wiki with Monobook, Vector and Minerva installed will result in the widget showing on Monobook and Minerva. However, if BetaFeatures is installed, it will only be available on Monobook if the beta feature has been opted into (please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146436).
