内容参数

This section describes parameters that govern infobox content. For help with templatemode and other control parameters, please see Control parameters.

Content parameters
Parameter Description
name name of the extension
status current release status

One of:

  • [[:Category:Unstable extensions{{#translation:}}|unstable]] (broken - do not use this extension)
  • [[:Category:Experimental extensions{{#translation:}}|experimental]] (early stages of development, may change drastically)
  • [[:Category:Beta status extensions{{#translation:}}|beta]] (stable but not fully tested)
  • [[:Category:Stable extensions{{#translation:}}|stable]] (stable version)
  • [[:Category:Not LTS ready{{#translation:}}|unmaintained]] (unmaintained - previously claimed to be stable, now unmaintained)
  • [[:Category:Extensions with unknown status{{#translation:}}|unknown]] (default)

If the status is anything other than the above, it will be ignored and the default value of 'Unknown' will be displayed in the template instead. In cases where the value is omitted, it will be categorized as unknown. In cases where the value is invalid, it will be placed in a special category so that the error can be caught and fixed.

type1
type2
type3
type4
type5
type6
implementation type

The implementation strategy(s) employed in building this extension. This parameter is used to create categories that help programmers find examples of various MediaWiki specific implementation strategies or patterns. Although the values of this parameter sometimes coincide with the use case or purpose of an extension, that is not reason for this parameter. If the values you have chosen for this parameter do not adequately identify the purpose or possible use cases, we recommend you add additional category links as needed.


Legal values for the type1, type2, ... parameters are:

  • [[:Category:Parser extensions{{#translation:}}|parser]] - catchall for uncategorized parser extensions. If you have written a parser extension, please use one of the following more specific types:
    • [[:Category:ContentHandler extensions{{#translation:}}|contenthandler]] - Extensions using ContentHandler.
    • [[:Category:Link markup extensions{{#translation:}}|link]] - customized link markup, e.g. [[...]]
    • [[:Category:Parser function extensions{{#translation:}}|parser function]] - custom parameterized template markup, e.g. {{#name: ... }}
    • [[:Category:Tag extensions{{#translation:}}|tag]] - custom XML tag markup, e.g. <tagname>...</tagname>
    • [[:Category:Variable extensions{{#translation:}}|variable]] - custom unparameterized template markup, e.g. {{NAME}}
    • [[:Category:Extended syntax extensions{{#translation:}}|extended syntax]] - Extensions that add non-standard wiki syntax (i.e. not tags, parser functions, or variables).
  • [[:Category:User access extensions{{#translation:}}|access]] - catchall for user access extensions, that is, extensions that create, authenticate, grant permissions, revoke permissions, or monitor the activity of users. If you have written an access extension, please use one of the following more specific types:
    • [[:Category:User activity extensions{{#translation:}}|user activity]] - extensions that monitor user activity (logins, logouts, new user creation, etc.)
    • [[:Category:User identity extensions{{#translation:}}|user identity]] - extensions that create and delete users, and/or verify the identity of a user
    • [[:Category:User rights extensions{{#translation:}}|user rights]] - extensions to the rights management system, e.g. changes to the way rights are assigned, API, maintenance tools (does not include extensions that merely name the rights needed to use the features of that extension; for this purpose use the rights parameter)
  • [[:Category:User interface extensions{{#translation:}}|interface]] - catchall for uncategorized user interface extensions.
    • [[:Category:Media handling extensions{{#translation:}}|media]] - extensions that permit the embedding of multimedia content on wiki pages by registering a file extension with $wgMediaHandlers.
    • [[:Category:Personalization extensions{{#translation:}}|mywiki]] - extensions that provide infrastructure so that users may personalize their MediaWiki experience and/or assist in the management of that infrastructure
    • [[:Category:Notification extensions{{#translation:}}|notify]] - extensions that email users, broadcast messages and provide other forms of community notification
    • [[:Category:Page action extensions{{#translation:}}|page action]] - extensions that enhance or modify page actions. This includes anything that implements an action that reads, writes, searches for, creates, renames, deletes, redirects or discusses a page. It does not include rights (use user rights) or logs (use user activity).
    • [[:Category:Search extensions{{#translation:}}|search]] - extensions that search through and select articles for users.
    • [[:Category:Skin extensions{{#translation:}}|skin]] - extensions adding CSS or JavaScript, or implementing hook functions to change the look and feel of MediaWiki via the skins framework.
    • [[:Category:Ajax extensions{{#translation:}}|ajax]] - extensions that use Ajax programming techniques.
    • [[:Category:Special page extensions{{#translation:}}|special]] - extensions that subclass the SpecialPage class, use one of its hooks, or patch one or more functions in SpecialPage.php. See Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Special pages for more information.
  • other
    • [[:Category:API extensions{{#translation:}}|api]] - extensions that add a new API module or extend a core API module.
    • [[:Category:Hook extensions{{#translation:}}|hook]] - Hook extension - defines a new hook - see hook1, etc. below if you want to define hooks used by your extension
    • [[:Category:Database extensions{{#translation:}}|database]] - adds tables and/or fields to the database backing a MediaWiki installation
    • [[:Category:Data extraction extensions{{#translation:}}|data extraction]] - Data extraction
    • [[:Category:File repository extensions{{#translation:}}|filerepo]] - extension that adds new file repository types as file backend
    • [[:Category:Extension examples{{#translation:}}|example]] - Not a real extension, but an example of how to write one

Any other value for 'type' is invalid, and will cause the extension to be placed in [[:Category:Extensions with invalid or missing type{{#translation:}}]].

Note: Many extensions have more than one type, if this applies to yours, replace |type= with |type1=|type2=|type3=.... You may define up to six types for an extension.

hook1
hook2
hook3
hook4
...
hook30
name of each hook used by the extension

Entering values in this field is a good way to get exposure for your extension and help other developers. Each documented hook will automatically add the extension to a category listing extensions that use that hook. This category is autolinked to each hook article so that programmers can easily find examples of extensions that use a particular hook.

For built-in hooks:

  • use the hook name alone. Please see Manual:Hooks for values (but omit introductory '/').

For custom hooks defined by extensions:

For multiple hooks, assign the first hook to hook1, the second to hook2 and so on.

username The author's username on MediaWiki.org (if they have one). May be omitted, but if present it will be used to link to the author's user & user_talk page. It should be provided without namespace and without [[]]s.
author The extension author's name, if different from their MediaWiki.org username. Free text. If omitted then the 'username' field will be used (if present).
description short description
image screenshot or logo of extension. It should be provided without namespace and without [[]]s.
imagesize facultative, size of the image (default size is 220px)
version last version
update date of the last update
mediawiki required version of MediaWiki
php required version of PHP
needs-updatephp Yes indicates that the extension requires a database table schema change or a similar action, before the MediaWiki can run. It is a common pitfall: your MediaWiki will stall, if you forgot to run update.php - if the extension requires it. No should be set as a value since this assures that the extension does not need update.php to be run and thus avoids uncertainty

Extensions which conform to MediaWiki extension standards come with a schema change script which you need to start manually (once) before starting and accessing the MediaWiki through your browser, and after you copied all the extension files to $IP/extensions/ExtensionName and inserted require_once "$IP/extensions/ExtensionName"; to "LocalSettings.php":

php $IP/maintenance/update.php


composer If applicable the name of the "vendor" as well as the "package" should be entered in the format vendor/package, e.g. mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki to point people directly to packagist.org, which serves as the package archive.
table1
table2
table3
table4
...
table30
name of each non-core table used by the extension

Links to a subpage of your extension page. For instance, "table1 = cu_changes" at Extension:CheckUser will link to Extension:CheckUser/cu_changes table. Don't list core tables such as page or revision; only list tables that are added by extensions.

license license(s) governing use of this extension, e.g. GPL

Possible values are (case-insensitive):

  • GPL family: "gpl", "gplv2", "gplv2 or later", "gpl v2", "gpl v2 or later", "gplv2+", "gplv3+", "gplv3", "gpl v3", "gpl v3 or later", "GPL 2.0", "gpl v2+", "gpl v3+"
  • LGPL family: "lgpl", "lgplv2", "lgplv3"
  • AGPL family: "agpl", "agplv2", "agplv3"
  • MIT family: "mit", "expat", "expat (mit)", "x11", "The MIT License", "Mit License"
  • BSD family: "bsd", "new bsd", "revised bsd", "modified bsd", "freebsd"
  • MPL family: "mpl", "mplv2", "mpl v2"
  • WTFPL family: "wtfpl", "wtfpl 2", "wtfpl 2.0"
  • Apache family: "apache", "apache license"
  • Public domain: "public domain", "none (public domain)", "none", "pd"
download link to the download : Git, 模板:Tl with server=svn in case it was not migrated from SVN. If you put the code into page in the MediaWiki wiki, link to it using a full page name and section name, e.g. [[Extension:Example/version_1.22a#Code]] (it must remain valid when bot-copied elsewhere)
readme external link to the readme file, e.g. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/r/browse/mediawiki/extensions/Flow;master;README
changelog external link to the changelog file, e.g. Extension:LDAP Authentication/Changelog
parameters available parameters for LocalSettings.php
tags any tags your extension uses (e.g. <tag1>, <tag2>).
rights rights added by the extension. Not to be confused with the license! Rights are such as makebot or desysop, not such as GFDL or LGPL or GPL - those are licenses!
namespace namespace in which this extension is used
example example, website or screenshot of working extension
compatibility Additional compatibility information, for instance compatibility charts (formerly using Template:Extension Testing). It's encouraged to add any client-side compatibility information here too, especially when diverging from expectations of full support for a browser.
translate Optional parameter to link the exact page where (message group id with which) the extension will be translatable on translatewiki.net if enabled. If the default link is incorrect, manually set it to:
bugzilla Bugzilla MediaWiki extension component name
CheckUsageNameOverride override the page name used for the check usage link.

Control parameters

Control parameters
Parameter Description
templatemode Controls auto-categorization of host page.

Normally left blank. Alternate values are:

  • nocats - suppresses categorization and the 'check usage' link. Use this value if you are adding this template to subpages of an extension or to how-to documentation of extensions. For example, the usage image above sets templatemode=nocats because this isn't an actual extension page and we don't want to add this page to any categories on account of it.
  • nousage - suppresses the 'check usage' link. Link is also suppressed if the page is a subpage; it is not in the Extension: namespace; or if suppressed by 'templatemode=nocats'


If this is left blank, this template will add the host page to [[:Category:All extensions{{#translation:}}]] and to one or more additional categories, depending on the values assigned to the Content parameters.

Using the infobox

Existing extension pages

If you want to add the infobox to an existing page, copy and paste the code at the top of this page.

Create a new extension article

If you want to create a new extension page, enter the name below and click the button. A new page will be created with the infobox template already in place.

Enhancing this template

If you would like to improve on this template, thanks! This is a complicated template so here is some help along the way:

Fixing documentation

If you would like to fix documentation, please be aware that documentation and code is split into two files:

  • Template:Extension/doc - stores all documentation.
  • Template:Extension - stores only the code for the template and a small amount of non-included material (category links, transcluded documentation link).


In addition, Template:Extension/Sample stores the boiler plate that is preloaded into newly created pages and contains some basic documentation on how to fill in the template parameters. It needs to be kept in sync with Template:Extension/doc.

The Create extension button

To improve the create extension button behavior:

Infobox parameters

In general:

  • To make this template easy to use, each label in the infobox is linked to documentation on the template parameter(s) it displays. If you add a parameter, please be sure to also add it to the content parameter documentation and link its label to that documentation.


To change/correct/add to the implementation type parameters:

    • [[:Category:User rights extensions{{#translation:}}|user rights]] - extensions to the rights management system, e.g. changes to the way rights are assigned, API, maintenance tools (does not include extensions that merely name the rights needed to use the features of that extension; for this purpose use the rights parameter)
  • [[:Category:User interface extensions{{#translation:}}|interface]] - catchall for uncategorized user interface extensions.
    • [[:Category:Media handling extensions{{#translation:}}|media]] - extensions that permit the embedding of multimedia content on wiki pages by registering a file extension with $wgMediaHandlers.
    • [[:Category:Personalization extensions{{#translation:}}|mywiki]] - extensions that provide infrastructure so that users may personalize their MediaWiki experience and/or assist in the management of that infrastructure
    • [[:Category:Notification extensions{{#translation:}}|notify]] - extensions that email users, broadcast messages and provide other forms of community notification
    • [[:Category:Page action extensions{{#translation:}}|page action]] - extensions that enhance or modify page actions. This includes anything that implements an action that reads, writes, searches for, creates, renames, deletes, redirects or discusses a page. It does not include rights (use user rights) or logs (use user activity).
    • [[:Category:Search extensions{{#translation:}}|search]] - extensions that search through and select articles for users.
    • [[:Category:Skin extensions{{#translation:}}|skin]] - extensions adding CSS or JavaScript, or implementing hook functions to change the look and feel of MediaWiki via the skins framework.

    • [[:Category:Hook extensions{{#translation:}}|hook]] - Hook extension - defines a new hook - see hook1, etc. below if you want to define hooks used by your extension
    • [[:Category:Database extensions{{#translation:}}|database]] - adds tables and/or fields to the database backing a MediaWiki installation
    • [[:Category:Data extraction extensions{{#translation:}}|data extraction]] - Data extraction
    • [[:Category:File repository extensions{{#translation:}}|filerepo]] - extension that adds new file repository types as file backend
    • [[:Category:Extension examples{{#translation:}}|example]] - Not a real extension, but an example of how to write one

Any other value for 'type' is invalid, and will cause the extension to be placed in [[:Category:Extensions with invalid or missing type{{#translation:}}]].

Note: Many extensions have more than one type, if this applies to yours, replace |type= with |type1=|type2=|type3=.... You may define up to six types for an extension.

hook1
hook2
hook3
hook4
...
hook30
name of each hook used by the extension

Entering values in this field is a good way to get exposure for your extension and help other developers. Each documented hook will automatically add the extension to a category listing extensions that use that hook. This category is autolinked to each hook article so that programmers can easily find examples of extensions that use a particular hook.

For built-in hooks:

  • use the hook name alone. Please see Manual:Hooks for values (but omit introductory '/').

For custom hooks defined by extensions:

For multiple hooks, assign the first hook to hook1, the second to hook2 and so on.

username The author's username on MediaWiki.org (if they have one). May be omitted, but if present it will be used to link to the author's user & user_talk page. It should be provided without namespace and without [[]]s.
author The extension author's name, if different from their MediaWiki.org username. Free text. If omitted then the 'username' field will be used (if present).
description short description
image screenshot or logo of extension. It should be provided without namespace and without [[]]s.
imagesize facultative, size of the image (default size is 220px)
version last version
update date of the last update
mediawiki required version of MediaWiki
php required version of PHP
needs-updatephp Yes indicates that the extension requires a database table schema change or a similar action, before the MediaWiki can run. It is a common pitfall: your MediaWiki will stall, if you forgot to run update.php - if the extension requires it. No should be set as a value since this assures that the extension does not need update.php to be run and thus avoids uncertainty

Extensions which conform to MediaWiki extension standards come with a schema change script which you need to start manually (once) before starting and accessing the MediaWiki through your browser, and after you copied all the extension files to $IP/extensions/ExtensionName and inserted require_once "$IP/extensions/ExtensionName"; to "LocalSettings.php":

php $IP/maintenance/update.php


composer If applicable the name of the "vendor" as well as the "package" should be entered in the format vendor/package, e.g. mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki to point people directly to packagist.org, which serves as the package archive.
table1
table2
table3
table4
...
table30
name of each non-core table used by the extension

Links to a subpage of your extension page. For instance, "table1 = cu_changes" at Extension:CheckUser will link to Extension:CheckUser/cu_changes table. Don't list core tables such as page or revision; only list tables that are added by extensions.

license license(s) governing use of this extension, e.g. GPL

Possible values are (case-insensitive):

  • GPL family: "gpl", "gplv2", "gplv2 or later", "gpl v2", "gpl v2 or later", "gplv2+", "gplv3+", "gplv3", "gpl v3", "gpl v3 or later", "GPL 2.0", "gpl v2+", "gpl v3+"
  • LGPL family: "lgpl", "lgplv2", "lgplv3"

download link to the download : Git, 模板:Tl with server=svn in case it was not migrated from SVN. If you put the code into page in the MediaWiki wiki, link to it using a full page name and section name, e.g. [[Extension:Example/version_1.22a#Code]] (it must remain valid when bot-copied elsewhere)
readme external link to the readme file, e.g. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/r/browse/mediawiki/extensions/Flow;master;README
changelog external link to the changelog file, e.g. Extension:LDAP Authentication/Changelog
parameters available parameters for LocalSettings.php
tags any tags your extension uses (e.g. <tag1>, <tag2>).
rights rights added by the extension. Not to be confused with the license! Rights are such as makebot or desysop, not such as GFDL or LGPL or GPL - those are licenses!
namespace namespace in which this extension is used
example example, website or screenshot of working extension
compatibility Additional compatibility information, for instance compatibility charts (formerly using Template:Extension Testing). It's encouraged to add any client-side compatibility information here too, especially when diverging from expectations of full support for a browser.
translate Optional parameter to link the exact page where (message group id with which) the extension will be translatable on translatewiki.net if enabled. If the default link is incorrect, manually set it to:
bugzilla Bugzilla MediaWiki extension component name
CheckUsageNameOverride override the page name used for the check usage link.

Control parameters

Control parameters
Parameter Description
templatemode Controls auto-categorization of host page.

Normally left blank. Alternate values are:

  • nocats - suppresses categorization and the 'check usage' link. Use this value if you are adding this template to subpages of an extension or to how-to documentation of extensions. For example, the usage image above sets templatemode=nocats because this isn't an actual extension page and we don't want to add this page to any categories on account of it.
  • nousage - suppresses the 'check usage' link. Link is also suppressed if the page is a subpage; it is not in the Extension: namespace; or if suppressed by 'templatemode=nocats'


If this is left blank, this template will add the host page to [[:Category:All extensions{{#translation:}}]] and to one or more additional categories, depending on the values assigned to the Content parameters.

Using the infobox

Existing extension pages

If you want to add the infobox to an existing page, copy and paste the code at the top of this page.

Create a new extension article

If you want to create a new extension page, enter the name below and click the button. A new page will be created with the infobox template already in place.

Enhancing this template

If you would like to improve on this template, thanks! This is a complicated template so here is some help along the way:

Fixing documentation

If you would like to fix documentation, please be aware that documentation and code is split into two files:

  • Template:Extension/doc - stores all documentation.
  • Template:Extension - stores only the code for the template and a small amount of non-included material (category links, transcluded documentation link).


In addition, Template:Extension/Sample stores the boiler plate that is preloaded into newly created pages and contains some basic documentation on how to fill in the template parameters. It needs to be kept in sync with Template:Extension/doc.

The Create extension button

To improve the create extension button behavior:

Infobox parameters

In general:

  • To make this template easy to use, each label in the infobox is linked to documentation on the template parameter(s) it displays. If you add a parameter, please be sure to also add it to the content parameter documentation and link its label to that documentation.


To change/correct/add to the implementation type parameters:


To change the behavior of the hook parameters:

Test case

See if the following pages are still ok, after edited this template.
