Details[edit]

The file system path to the extensions directory (relative path). This controls where MediaWiki will look for extensions on the server itself.

This is set to "{$IP}/extensions" by Setup.php before loading local settings.
Ignored when the exact path to a particular template's .json configuration file is given to the wfLoadTemplate() function.
Example: wfLoadTemplate( 'TemplateName', '/path/to/TemplateName/template.json' );
