Translate the ManageWiki extension

The ManageWiki extension provides several additional special pages for wiki management:

  • Special:ManageWiki
  • Special:ManageWiki/extensions
  • Special:ManageWiki/settings
  • Special:ManageWiki/namespaces
  • Special:ManageWiki/permissions

For detailed information please see this detailed page.

Warning Warning: ManageWiki was designed and created specifically for the Miraheze wiki farm, and as such, may not always work on different sites or configurations. While efforts have been made to make it more usable by non-Miraheze wiki sites, this extension is still a primarily Miraheze-focused extension and aligns to Miraheze's configuration and style.

Issues and bug reporting

For reporting an issue or a bug, please use Miraheze Phabricator. See here for the workboard.

Installation

  • First, download and install the separate extension CreateWiki .
  • Download and place the file(s) in a directory called ManageWiki in your extensions/ folder.
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file: 
    wfLoadExtension( 'ManageWiki' );
  • Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

The ManageWiki page is used to manage several aspects of a wiki's settings. As mentioned above, users with the appropriate permissions can manage settings on their wiki, enable/disable extensions and also change permissions (wgGroupPermissions) directly from their wiki.

All settings changes are listed at Special:Log/managewiki. Anyone who has the managewiki right can change wiki settings and use Special:ManageWiki but you only need the "read" right to view configuration.
