The ParserMigration extension was introduced in gerrit:296182. It provides an interface for comparing article rendering with a new non-default version of the MediaWiki parser thus serving as a parser migration tool.
It is currently deployed on the Wikimedia production cluster to compare Tidy-based output with a RemexHTML-based output. RemexHTML is a proposed replacement for Tidy.
The availability of the tool can be controlled by a user via the "parsermigration" preference option.
Installation[edit]
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
ParserMigrationin yourextensions/folder.
- Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
wfLoadExtension( 'ParserMigration' );
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
