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

• Download and move the extracted Tabs 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/Tabs
  

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

  wfLoadExtension( 'Tabs' );
  

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

Configuration

None, but the default background colour for dropdown menus is stored on the "MediaWiki:tabs-dropdown-bgcolor" page.

Usage

See Extension:Tabs/Usage .
