The Wikibase Lexeme extension provides improved modeling for lexical entities such as words and phrases. While it would be theoretically possible to model these things using Items, a more expressive specialized model helps to reduce complexity, and improve re-use and mappings to other vocabularies.

Requirements

Wikibase must be installed.

Installation

Download and move the extracted WikibaseLexeme 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/WikibaseLexeme
```
Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
```
wfLoadExtension( 'WikibaseLexeme' );
```
Define a namespace for Lexeme entities
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
