Extension:Jira Ticket

Like the Jira Extension, Jira Ticket extension allows you to link a MediaWiki instance with Jira. This extension allows a single ticket to be incorporated into an article by its ticket number. The ticket's status, priority, and number are displayed to the user as a URL to the ticket in Jira, and with the title of the ticket as the alternate text.
