The Tabs extension makes it possible to insert tab menus, dropdown menus, and collapsible boxes into any page, using the ‎<tabs /> and ‎<tab> tags, or the {{#tab:}} parser function. This extension requires no JavaScript to work, except for older browsers such as Internet Explorer 8 and lower as a CSS :checked polyfill. As opposed to other extensions, this independence from JavaScript results in having no flash of unstyled content when the page loads.

Installation[edit]

    git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Tabs
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'Tabs' );
    
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration[edit]
