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:

Prerequisites
The RelatedPages feature depends on Cards. If EventLogging is installed, the RelatedPages feature can be configured to log events.

Configuration
The following configuration options apply to the RelatedPages feature only.
 * controls whether to show related articles in the sidebar of a desktop skin, e.g. Vector.
 * Set the event logging sampling rate   using a number between 0 and 1. The schema used for logging is  RelatedArticles.
 * Show related articles at the bottom of the page by setting  to  . Note that the page must be in the Main namespace, and being `view`ed (as opposed to `edit`ed for example), and not be a disambiguation or a diff page, and the skin name (e.g. `minerva`) that's being used is in the array  . The user session also needs to be sampled. The sampling rate can be controled by the   variable.
 * 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 will be shown in the footer. For example, on a wiki with Monobook, Vector and Minerva installed will result in the widget showing on Vector only.
