  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file: 
    wfLoadExtension( 'CommunityConfiguration' );
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Glossary

[edit]

The following terms are used across technical documentation and Phabricator issues. However they are not definitive and subject to change.

  • Configuration page: A place to store the configuration in; as of now, it is a JSON page in the MediaWiki namespace
  • Schema: Defines what variables can be present in a configuration page and the format of the variables
  • Editing form: An HTML form that allows to modify the configuration of a registered provider
  • Configuration provider: Consists of a configuration page and matching schema.
  • Server setting: A setting in LocalSettings.php (InitialiseSettings.php or another configuration file on Wikimedia wikis) that is available through MediaWiki core config interface. On Wikimedia wikis, the community needs to request a change via the Requesting wiki configuration changes process, and updating requires Gerrit credentials and a deployment of a production configuration change. Some configuration must be available early in HTTP the request, and that configuration must be a server setting.
  • Overridable server setting: A setting in LocalSettings.php that is available through standard MediaWiki config interfaces and also defined in a CommunityConfiguration providers (tbd: link to providers section), usually stored in a wiki JSON page. The option can be changed on-wiki by administrators, bureaucrats, stewards, etc. Consumers of CommunityConfiguration services will get the on-wiki option, consumers of MediaWiki core config interfaces will get the server option.
  • On-wiki option: A setting only defined in a CommunityConfiguration provider, only available through CommunityConfiguration services, usually stored in a wiki JSON page. It can be changed on-wiki by administrators, bureaucrats, stewards, etc.
