Beginning developers may wish to browse the list of simple extensions when considering how to create a new extension. Some of the code from these extensions can provide insight into how to approach an implementation task, or even be cannibalized for your purposes.

License[edit]

You may want to include a licensing statement at the beginning of your extension file, e.g.: 

/*
* @author Your Name <your@email.com>
* @copyright Copyright © 2012, Your Name
* @license http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU General Public License 2.0 or later
*/

Another way to do it is like this: 

/**
 * NameOfYourExtension
 *
 * Copyright © 2012 Your Name <your@email.com>
 * https://www.mediawiki.org/
 *
 * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify

Extensions[edit]

  • Example extensions
  • Examples: This is an example extension. It doesn't actually do anything useful, but can be copied to provide the basis for your own extension.
  • BoilerPlate: A blank extension template. It doesn't really do anything on its own, but provides boilerplate code for an actual MediaWiki extension.
  • Parser_hook: A parser hook example, use it on a page like <hook arg1="foo" arg2="bar" ...>input</hook>
  • Variable_hook: An example parser hook that defines a new variable, {{EXAMPLE}}
