Purpose

This template should be added to the main page of all extensions documented on this wiki (and only the main page). It will add a useful infobox using the information supplied (see below) and will automatically add the extension to Category:All Extensions, plus the appropriate status category.

Usage

Parameters
name name of the extension
status current release status

One of:

  • unstable (broken - do not use this extension)
  • experimental (early stages of development, may change drastically.)
  • beta (stable but not fully tested)
  • stable (stable version)
  • unknown (default)

If the status is anything other than the above, it will be ignored and the default value will be used instead. In these cases it will be placed in a special category so that the error can be caught and fixed.

type type of extension

Can contain any value, but the following special values ensure proper categorisation:

  • pfunc - Parser function
  • parser - Parser extension (new tag)
  • parser,pfunc - available as Parser Function AND as Parser Extension
  • hook - Hook extension (using $wgHooks)
  • special - Special page
  • interface - User interface extension (e.g. javascript code).
  • parser, hook, special - Parser extension, hook, and special page
  • example - not a real extension, but an example of how to write one.

Please add to this list if necessary.
