Extension talk:LinkTitles

--> Archived talk

Hello, I just wanted to know if someone could share a wiki using LinkTitle? It would be useful to justify its use for a company wiki.

I'm afraid not. I'm aware of a couple of private wikis, but I don't know if a public wiki uses this.

There's not a lot of code, so if your managers are worried about data safety and security, you might want to have someone look at it with some knowledge of PHP?

Thank you for your quick answer. Yes, I just wanted to find an easy way to show the extension for people with little to no experience in PHP. Main worries are about efficiency or how the extension behaves with various names that could appear in a normal sentence.

Is an Update for the newer MediaWiki versions planned?

Hi, unfortunately, MediaWiki 1.32 introduced changes in the code that prevents the LinkTitles extension from adding links when a page is being saved. This is likely not going to change. A workaround is to either use the 'link on render' mode, or have a cron job execute the command-line linker e.g. once per night.

The latest verson doesn't work with MediaWiki 1.30.2 ~~~~

Should be fixed now with version 8.0.0...

The installation instructions that are automatically inserted using a template include information on really ancient MediaWiki versions (prior to 1.24). Note that these discontinued versions are not supported by this extension.
