The LinkTitles extension automatically adds links to existing page titles that occur on a given page. This will automatically cross-reference your wiki for you. The extension can operate in three ways that can be used independently:
- Whenever a page is edited and saved, the extension will look if any existing page titles occur in the text, and automatically add links (
[[...]]
) to the corresponding pages. - Links may also be added on the fly whenever a page is rendered for display. Most of the time, MediaWiki will fetch previously rendered pages from cache upon a page request, but whenever a page is refreshed, the LinkTitles extension can add its page links. These links are not hard-coded in the Wiki text. The original content will not be modified.
- Batch mode enables Wiki administrators to process all pages in a Wiki at once. Batch processing can either be started from a special page, or from the server's command line (see below).
Installation[edit]
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
LinkTitles
in yourextensions/
folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
wfLoadExtension( 'LinkTitles' );
- Configure as required.
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
To users running MediaWiki 1.24 or earlier:
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 1.24 and earlier), instead of wfLoadExtension( 'LinkTitles' );
, you need to use:
require_once "$IP/extensions/LinkTitles/LinkTitles.php";
Usage and configuration[edit]
Starting with version 5.0.0, detailed usage and configuration information was moved to the README.md file in the extension's repository.
