The ArticleIndex Extension appends clickable index of tagged words in an article.

• Words in these tags are displayed instead of tag ‎<articleindex /> in alphabet order.
• Index is grouped by first letters.
• Clicking the word highlights his occurrences and moves page to the first one.
• Navigation buttons appears on mouseover on tagged words.
• It's case insensitive.

Download

The extension can be retrieved directly from Git ^[?]:

• Browse code
• Some extensions have tags for stable releases.
  • Browse tags
  • Select the tag
  • Click "snapshot"
• Each branch is associated with a past MediaWiki release. There is also a "master" branch containing the latest alpha version (might require an alpha version of MediaWiki).

  • Click "Continue"

Extract the snapshot and place it in the extensions/ArticleIndex/ directory of your MediaWiki installation.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called ArticleIndex in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'ArticleIndex' );

The instructions above describe the new way of installing this extension using wfLoadExtension(). If you need to install this extension on these earlier versions (MediaWiki 1.30 and earlier), instead of wfLoadExtension( 'ArticleIndex' );, you need to use:
