Embed interactive visualizations from OurWorldInData into your wiki pages.
Installation[edit]
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
OurWorldInDatain yourextensions/folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'OurWorldInData' );
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration[edit]
By default, the extension will pull data directly from ourworldindata.org by embedding it as a web-page. A mirrored version of OurWorldInData more amenable to embedding in wiki pages is available at https://owidm.wmcloud.org/. To make use of this mirror, add the following to your LocalSettings.php after the wfLoadExtension call:
$wgOurWorldInDataUrl = 'https://owidm.wmcloud.org/grapher/$1';
Usage[edit]
This extension adds a new parser tag, <ourworldindata>. Place the chart name inside of the tag. Additional parameters can be used to adjust how the chart is displayed.
- Specify a chart name directly:
<ourworldindata>historic-and-un-pop-projections-by-age</ourworldindata> - Filter parameters can be added to the tag:
<ourworldindata time="1950..2020">historic-and-un-pop-projections-by-age</ourworldindata>
You can use TemplateStyles to further style the generated <iframe> by targeting iframe.owid-frame in your CSS.
