Extension:ShoutBox

The ShoutBox extension is a MediaWiki extension which adds a parser function called #shoutbox for embedding a shoutbox into pages. Only shoutboxes hosted by http://www.shoutbox.us are supported. This means a user must go to shoutbox.us, create an account then create a shoutbox. The id is the shoutbox id from this site.
