I've found a suitable extension that should do the job once I've worked out how to fix the bugs it's come with. ;) Thank you!

Hi, :)

I am very new to wiki management, and I would like to add some text to the standard MediaWiki File:file.jpg type pages.

I've explored system messages thoroughly and googled a LOT and can't find anything I can helpfully edit for what I want to do. What I want to do is add a little snippet of code to each file page for users to copy and paste into articles, to more easily insert pictures.

I don't have a technical fault so this may not help, but the instructions say to do it! Here's my wiki: http://thislandwiki.nn.pe/w

Thank you for reading this far,

Cassian

It doesn't seem to be an extension for that, but Wikimedia Commons uses a gadget for this: commons:Help:Gadget-Stockphoto.

Ooo, interesting, that looks helpful.

Can you give any advice on how to install gadgets? Is it an extension, or a different kind of thing?

Edit: Okay, I've enabled the Gadget extension, and I've installed a few gadgets from some of these galleries: Topic:Rgqlt87fbuv0w18k

But Stockphoto isn't on any of those lists, and I don't know how to install gadgets without importing exported thingies through Special:Import. :S

The gadget is in Commons, so you should look at commons:Special:Gadgets

Perfect! :) I have now four gadget galleries:

• https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Gadgets
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Gadgets
• Special:Gadgets
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Gadgets

Thank you very much!
