The ContributionCredits extension adds an automatically generated list of the page contributors to the end of every page in the wiki.

Usage

The extension works out of the box, no configuration is needed. Just enable the extension and see the credits displayed at the bottom of every page in the main namespace.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted ContributionCredits folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/ContributionCredits
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'ContributionCredits' );
  

• Configure as required
•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

Parameter name	Default value	Description
