 * 2) Create a directory   in your   directory.
 * 3) Add the files to that   directory.
 * 4) Add to the end of LocalSettings.php (MW 1.17+):
 * 5) Specifiy the Twitter and Facebook pages that should be used by adding   just after that line.
 * 6) Installation can now be verified through Special:Version on your wiki


 * The description (label) of the portlet should be set in MediaWiki:Socialsidebar.
 * When used in combination with another plugin that adds boxes to the sidebar, the order of calling the extension in the LocalSettings.php will determine the order of the extension boxes in the sidebar.
