One of the Wikivoyage extensions, formerly used to add a link to a same-named article on a related site on the sidebar. The extension was removed from Wikivoyage in 2018 as much of its functionality overlaps the "In other projects" sidebar entry from Extension:Wikibase.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted RelatedSites folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:

  cd extensions/
  git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/RelatedSites
  

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'RelatedSites' );
  

• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

$wgRelatedSitesPrefixes is an array of interwiki prefixes of sites you would like to give prominence to. For example, for Wikivoyage this is:

$wgRelatedSitesPrefixes = [ 'wikipedia', 'commons' ];

Make sure you also have these prefixes set up in $wgExtraInterlanguageLinkPrefixes .
