Installation[edit]
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
LinkSuggest
in yourextensions/
folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your
LocalSettings.php
:wfLoadExtension( 'LinkSuggest' );
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration[edit]
- $wgLinkSuggestFromNamespaces
Array that defines a list of namespaces to get suggestions from if you don't type a namespace.
Default value:
$wgLinkSuggestFromNamespaces = [ NS_MAIN ];
Adding namespaces to this list will cause LinkSuggest to load suggestions from pages on those namespaces, when you don't type the namespace.
This cause suggestions to get pages "Apple" and "Project:Apple" if you type "Appl" and $wgLinkSuggestFromNamespaces
is [ NS_MAIN, NS_PROJECT ]
.
