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 and type categories.

Usage

Cut and paste:

{{Extension|templatemode =
|name        = 
|status      =
|type        =
|author      =
|username    =
|image       =
|version     =
|update      =
|mediawiki   =
|download    =
|readme      =
|changelog   =
|description =
|parameters  =
|rights      =
|example     =
}}

Content parameters

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

**Content 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 of 'Unknown' will be displayed in the template instead. In cases where the value is omitted, it will be categorised 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	type of extension Can contain any value, but the following special values ensure proper categorisation: category - Category database - adds tables and/or fields to the database backing a MediaWiki installation db - same as database data extraction - Data extraction example - Not a real extension, but an example of how to write one extended syntax - Extensions that add non-standard wiki syntax (i.e. not tags, parser functions, or variables). form - Form hook - Hook extension - defines a new hook - see hook1, etc below if you want to define hooks used by your extension interface - User interface extension (e.g. javascript code) link - Link markup extensions list - List media - Media namespace - Namespace parser - Parser extension (uncategorized) parser function - Parser function pfunc - same as parser function special - Special page table - Table tag - Tag extension variable - defines wiki variables Any other value for 'type' is invalid, and will cause the extension to be placed in Category:Extensions with invalid or missing type. 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 hook5 hook6 hook7 hook8 hook9 hook10	name of each hook used by the extension - please see Manual:Hooks and Extension hook registry for a list of valid values.
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).
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.
image	screenshot (of base 270px)
version	last version
update	date of the last update
mediawiki	required version of MediaWiki
license	license(s) governing use of this extension, e.g. GPL
download	link to the download : SVN or other
readme	link to the readme file : README or other
changelog	link to the changelog file : CHANGELOG or other
description	short description
parameters	available parameters for LocalSettings.php
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!
example	example, website or screenshot of working extension

Control parameters

**Control parameters**
templatemode	Controls auto-categorization of host page. Normally left blank. Alternate values are: nocats - suppresses categorization. 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`). If this is left blank, this template will add the host page to Category:All extensions and to one or more additional pages.
