The InterwikiSorting extension allows for sorting of interwiki links.

The code was originally created in 2012 as part of the Wikibase Client extension, and has been factored out.

Within the Wikimedia Foundation this extension will be used alongside the Cognate extension and Wikibase .

Download

The extension can be retrieved directly from Git [?]:

  • Browse code
  • Some extensions have tags for stable releases.
  • Each branch is associated with a past MediaWiki release. There is also a "master" branch containing the latest alpha version (might require an alpha version of MediaWiki).

Extract the snapshot and place it in the extensions/InterwikiSorting/ directory of your MediaWiki installation.

If you are familiar with Git and have shell access to your server, you can also obtain the extension as follows:

cd extensions/ git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/InterwikiSorting.git

Installation

  • Download and move the extracted InterwikiSorting 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/InterwikiSorting
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'InterwikiSorting' );
    
  • Configure as required
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
